I'm pondering ditching my doze workstation at home and moving into Linux 'full time' for my desktop OS, and would like some advice on a suitable distro :)

Server wise I'm quite settled with Gentoo these days, but configuring it as a workstation OS is going to be pretty time consuming and quite a ballache. Getting my two screens to work how I wanted that was a right PITA the last time I played with this, and I cant be bothered with that again, so something that will 'just work' with my multimon setup would be great. The system will be an admin workstation, and I'll be casually developing on it (liking the look of Ruby at the moment), very little gaming.

Any particular distro that suits my wants better than any other, or do people just adapt their favourite distro to their workstation tasks (which is of course quite possible).

Ta :)

Pretty familiar with SuSE, and generally like it (though it seems a bit 'bloaty'). Dont think the latest release is particularly up to date mind, but worthy of consideration.

And yeah, FC5 is the latest :)
 
Thanks for the advise guys, decided to stick with what I know - So I'm running Gentoo on my main rig as we speak :)
