Installed the latest Nvidia drivers last night, very slick, but, as someone said, no better than a Debian or RPM package with a couple of extra bells and whistles. I think the main thing is the implicit recognition that GNU/Linux is an important enough user base for them to provide this.
OK, the real point of this is that after the install I was reviewing the start-up log and noticed a message saying I had 16 x 4Mb RAM disks. Presumably this was a default kernel option as I haven't knowingly created these. Question is, is this just a capability or is there an actual 64M RAM overhead associated with this?
Do I need any RAM disks?
