Ok, got my HDMI cable and adapter. Went to Best Buy so I am sure I payed way over but whatever, at least I will get some reward zone points.

I had Ubuntu installed but it didn't run so hot. Problems with networking (both wired and wireless) and display modes. Right now I am hooked up to my 65 inch HD projection screen running Yellow Dog and everything is working fine.

I want to be hooked up to one of my 22 inch Philips LCD's, but when I put the adapter on the end of the HDMI cable it doesn't fit. The base of the monitor gets in the way. I have to get a DVI gender-bender so I can hook up a regular DVI cable to the monitor, then the HDMI-DVI adapter. Headed off to try to find one in a bit.
