Take note that comp.sys.raspberry-pi has been approved, the creation 
message has probably gone out by now.

The Pi doesn't drive a VGA because it's intended to be used with current 
tv sets, which definitely have hdmi.  It's a modern day equivalent of the 
Commodore 64, hook up to the tv set and play with it to learn programming.

That said, the HDMI port has the signals for DVI, you just need an adapter 
that takes the subset of signals and puts it on a DVI connector.  And most 
of the LCD monitors I'm finding here waiting for the garbage trucks have 
DVI (no sign of hdmi yet) connectors.  So not having VGA doesnt' seem too 
limiting.

If it's doing conversion to serial in software, then that may slow things 
down.  THey need specific timing, which then locks out other multitasking, 
unless things have changed from the days of Microware OS-9.  That may or 
may not be an issue.

You set up a console that is using the RS232 port rather than  the built 
in console.  This is easy since long before Linux came along, Unix often 
operated this way.  Inittab is where this is done.
