    Steve your just a old man that is still pushing the really stupid 
idea that if it was not invented at Fedora it is crap. This binary with 
no source-code comes from Nvidia just like the one you get if your using 
Windows. Both users need this "driver" software to make their Nvidia 
video card work.

    It works just fine and a person on this list put me in touch with 
it. The things Fedora try to do to keep up an rpm with Nvidia software 
coming with kernel updates is a silly way to do things. The binary I use 
works on ALL Linux. This is what the people at Nvidia want.

    You seem to think all drivers must have source code. I think that is 
stupid.
