From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know, but it's progress none the less. At this point, I'd be nearly insane to expect this to work with NVIDIA out the gate :/
What happened to Nvidia open sourcing their graphics driver last year? It seems like nothing came out of it. I know the userland is still closed, but wasn't there an effort to include the driver in Mesa?
I'm not too sure, but I wish there was more action from the code being open sourced. I remember reading a little while back some newer code was leaked for NVIDIA as well, but pretty much the similar issue as there hasn't been too much done with the info as far as I know.
