I was writing a post along the same lines, but you beat me to it! Here it is anyway... JBNO, your comments, while valid in a perfect hacker society, are pointless and irrelevant here. We live in the real world, where Linux is trying to make a difference and succeeding. Having a go at new Linux users because they don't use purely free software will only alienate us from the growing user base. We don't need that. We're not all bug-eyed fanatics...are we? The NVidia driver works, at least. Not brilliantly, but it does work. Like most companies who have resisted Open Sourcing their drivers or releasing the specs, they'll come round in the end, they can't afford not to. Regards, Andy
