Ubuntu has a nice graphical front end that manages multi-head displays. Fedora
and SUSE have that too (SUSE has had it for _AGES_ with YaST/SaX2).

everytime you say things like this i just think of that cult of people
who send around .doc files. i dont want to communicate with people who
talk in .doc format, but they do not wish to use something else, so
they discredit those without word. --Ed, c.o.l.a.
