What's the current state with nVidia cards under Linux ? Is it a matter of

my experience is that NVidia are not that bad.
I'm using a HP G6000, which has an NVidia GeForce 7000M. the free drivers
simply don't support it, so I had to use NVidia's drivers.
once Fedora9 stabilised a bit, NVidia's driver suddenly just worked (there
was a period where the ABI for the new XOrg was in flux, so NVidia's driver
was uncertain how to interface with the server).
If the card is the only questionable item, then I'd say go for it.
check the wifi as well, though - that can be another tricky item to get
working...
