We explore a series expansion method to calculate the instabilities and the structure of the perturbations for a variety of uniformly rotating finite stellar disks. This survey focuses on the role of the distribution function in stability analyses. Although the potential does not show differential rotation, it will in many cases be a reasonable approximation for the disk in the central regions of galaxies without massive central mass concentration.
