linux supports it.

You'll need a dual monitor card or two separate video cards.
Depending on your distro, it may have dual monitor support built-in.  If
not, you have to edit "The X File" to make it work (xorg.conf, as I
remember it).  What are you running?

I have run 3 on my machine with no ill effects.  Many have run more.
