I think they meant 0wn. Auto-updating binary-only drivers. Do they have good security in place, or is the "mass nvidia driver users' blowout" only a download site exploit away, I wonder.
Ummm, from what I read the utility they provide "auto-updates" by you having to run it, no different from using apt-get really.
I'll stick with the XFree86's own nv drivers on the box here that has their chips until I replace that hardware.
You do realise that Nvidia wrote that support (definetly parts of it, they do have there own "special" license mentioned in the XFree86 distribution) in XFree86? and out of interest which of the GFX manufacturers warez would you seek to procure in their place? AFAICT there are no GFX card manufacturers out there who provide full real free software support for their products :(
