NVidia vs. The World



In case you haven't been reading Slashdot today, a big article has been
posted regarding NVidia and their lack of support for Linux and other
Free Software.  This article has some interesting timing, as I just got
my G400 yesterday, and happily ripped out my TNT2 (which is going to my
dad, as even a not-totally-working TNT2 is leaps and bounds beyond what
he currently has).  Anyway, there are many, many people who are
disappointed (just so you don't feel left out if you bought and NVidia
card..), even Bruce Perens bought an NVidia card because of their
apparent pro-Open Source actions at the time.

Anyway, if you want to read, the article is at
