Serial would be best for me, the SGI monitor I have is like 21+ inches. I am pretty excited about trying this out, mips is one of the archs I don't have much experience with yet (some basic IRIX admin before, but that's it), so when I found one I thought I'd add it to my already somewhat large personal collection of differnet archs. I just wish I had a second one I could donate to the OpenBSD guys (SMP support would kick ass). Jason
