Putting Nvidia and ATI proprietary drivers in Fedora will, as my grandmother used to say, only encourage them. Linux is a small but growing market. Companies who wish to participate in that market must play by the rules of that market, just as companies who wish to market their products in any given country must abide by the local laws and customs if they plan to actually sell any product. One of the current principles of the market in regard to Fedora is no closed-source drivers. Other distributions and other operating systems see it differently and as such may be more suited to the needs of people who require closed-source drivers. I really have no problem with that at all. The right tool for the job and all that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
