NVIDIA’s Even Bigger Linux Advantage

Bryan Duncan over at Bjorn3d has written up an article on NVIDIA’s plans for Linux users:

NVIDIA’s December 2002 release was a big step in the right direction. The March 2003 is an even bigger leap forward. People expect excellent drivers from NVIDIA. While it is reassuring to hear about NVIDIA’s dedication to the viability of Linux, it is expected that their drivers will work and that they will work well. Linux Update is significant in that it removes much of the guesswork, drudgery, and hazards of previous installation procedures. Let’s face it, part of the appeal of Linux is the ability to get one’s virtual hands in it and muck about. But there comes a time when one actually wants the OS to *do* something and dealing with installation headaches just gets in the way. Linux gurus who loathe automation should not be put off by this development because NVIDIA still offers command line support and the installer is open source; they can twiddle bits until their hearts are content. Newcomers should welcome this development with cheers and parades for it removes a major headache and barrier for first-time Unix users.
