I'm just about to make the switch to Debian, so if you are looking to try a distro based on this check out Storm - it has a less complex install than the raw Debian, but is pretty true to its roots. I haven't tried it yet, but apt-get is supposed to be a very nice means of installing updates.
I have tried Storm and the main thing that got me was the free version (non-retail) does not have as many packages as true Debian but you could add the Debian mirrors to your sources.list file.
Assuming that you can run the GeForce chipset (not sure, haven't used it myself) you can run two cards with Xfree86 - so long as you have a spare monitor ;-) I quite like the idea of running an old 14" screen to watch logs in when I am developing code, but I don't have the space for the extra screen :-( I saw something on this only the other day, I just can't remember where... don't you just wish you could grep magazines sometimes!
Now that is cool, I may have a look at that later on although finding space for a spare monitor will also be a problem for me :-(
A quick search on www.google.com with the terms "multiple screens with Xfree86 linux" returned some promising results.
