He's not bad-mouthing the person. He's bad-mouthing the driver.
And he's hardly doing it systematically.
seriously - nvidia drivers being bad for your system is not new. You
should have seen this before.
Don't see why they can be bad for my system: I've never had problems
with them (even when CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_4K_STACKS), have been
using them for more than 3 months with all unstable/testing kernel
releases up to 2.6.12-rc6 and performance is exceptional with them
loaded.
