I've been using OS X as my desktop and doing all my dev work on a linux

that would equal an apple solution w/ a 30 display because I know the
linux kernels really outperform os x and I'd like to not spend as much
money (especially on all the 3rd party licenses I end up getting
afterwards). But the desktop and monitor is really important for me.
Anyone make recommendations on some really nice displays and graphics
cards that linux (I run gentoo) would take advantage of.
If you like the 30 inch Apple display, it should work just fine with Linux given an appropriate display card. ATI and nVidia both make graphics cards with "Dual-Link" DVI outputs that will drive that monitor at its native resolution. (Note there's a difference between having two DVI outputs and having a "Dual-Link" output. The Apple display, along with similar 30 inch units from Dell and others, require the "Dual-Link" technology.)
The ATI FireGL 5000 series (and up) or the nVidia Quadro FX 1500 (and higher) cards support "Dual-Link" DVI, for example. I'm sure there are many other suitable cards, too.
