This year NVIDIA has been following the "release early, release often" mantra with it seeming like two weeks can't even go by without seeing a new Linux driver -- whether it's a beta driver, an official driver update, or one of their legacy drivers picking up a few fixes (at times they have even released four drivers at once).

Its a good thing I usually only stop by to see benchmarks. Otherwise I'd have lost my mind by now reading this type of material.
Michael, there is a good book, part of the Reader's Digests collection called... "How To Read And Write Better" - Please buy it, and read it. You can order it directly from Reader's Digest. Even ebay seems to have had a copy, http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI....m=380089724189

Phoronix is the #1 site for desktop hardware testing and reporting in Linux and we should really expect journalism of a general quality above your average blog. What is there really to complain about?
