Looking for a 17 or larger touchscreen monitor that works with Linux.  It will be used outdoor and I hear capacitive and optical screens are more durable.  It doesn't need to be multi-touch.Please advise because I don't see Linux compatibility on the models I've seen, except for the expensive ELOS ones.Thanks

Most touchscreens will work with Linux; so long as the hardware doesnt have some vendor specific connector (most fondleslabs I've seen are USB) then you can probably get it to work on *nix although as with most things, there may be some configuration required.If the vendor says 'compatible with *nix' on the box then that is more of a garuantee that it will work -  but if they don't, it's more likely that they haven't tested or didn't bother putting it on the box rather than the device being inherently incompatible with a *nix system.You could always ask the retailer in any case, and personally I'd see if I could try it out first because you do get some very cheap but also very very bad ones.P.S a word to the wise: generally, shopping advice questions are off-topic on stack exchange sites, a better way to ask this would be to say 'How can I tell if a touchscreen monitor would work with Linux' or 'What to look for in a touchscreen for Linux'.
