Agreed. If you look at Fedora 9/10, the nVidia drivers are available=20
from the livna (now RPM Fusion) repository.  One of the reasons I moved=20
from CentOS to Fedora is because the nVidia drivers are available in the =

repositories, rather than my having to do a manual reinstall every once=20
in a while. I probably will stick to Ubuntu on my laptop since I don't=20
use it all that much.
