Cheers xStainDx Here is a bit of news for all you nVidia lovin" Linux users out there!
Graphics chip leader Nvidia released new software Monday intended to make it easier for Linux users to update their system software.
Nvidia"s new Linux Update tools lets PC users running various versions of the open-source Linux operating system update their video drivers--software files that govern how PC hardware interacts with software--with just a few clicks, said Andrew Fear, a Nvidia product manager.
Updating Linux drivers previously required a series of decisions, including correctly identifying the processor configuration and the Linux kernel that the drivers needed to work with.
"It was pretty daunting to figure out the right combination," Fear said. "You had to scroll through a couple of pages on our Web site just to get through the list of things you needed to do."
