[NTLUG:Discuss] nvidia drivers for Suse 10.3

[Daniel Hauck]

It doesn't have to be that hard.  Aren't there any repositories for SuSE
with nVidia drivers already compiled?  If not, perhaps you should
consider switching to a distro that already has those modules and driver
files available.  Fedora is good about that and I believe Ubuntu is as well.

SuSE has historically been a very good distribution, but how is it now?
