I've evaluated another model (R50L) at my place of work somewhere last year. As our main question was 'can it drive 2x 30" monitors' and the default Linux install was both a pain to use and configure and didn't properly support 2x 30", I quickly installed OpenBSD (yes, from USB, worked flawlessly), fired up X with the two monitors attached, and it came up in all its 5120x1600 glory (this model had ATI graphics so was no problem to get running). So, I'm not sure if the C90LE will work for you, the moral of the story is to just give it a shot. And if it doesn't, and this is important to you, at least the R50L works great so you could consider switching to that model.
