DVI -> VGA

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

I'm contemplating buying a new computer (see below).

My main concern is that it says that "there is no support for VGA".

Do you know anything about DVI->VGA cable adapters?  Are they
straightforward converters?  Or are they more complex?

Given that this would be my main machine for reading my email and doing
backups, I would wipe Windows and install linux.  If the adapter is
simple, then Linux will probably be fine.
