The equation governing the stability of a single species non-neutral plasma column to small amplitude electrostatic perturbations is shown to remain unchanged under a certain transformation. This transformation can be used to predict the stability of the fast rotational equilibrium using the results for the slow rotational equilibrium. For the fast rotational equilibrium the zero frequency modes, which can give rise to field error driven transport, are identified. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
