Dear colleagues,

OK
--I am happy with any Linux. However, the system needs updates for security
purposes (the University requires it). Do I have to remake the NVidia driver
every time there is a kernel update or is there a way around it for this NVidia
card? Do you suggest another NVidia card (inexpensive) that is good for coot
and automatically updates when the kernel is updated?
Try Ubuntu (or Kubuntu or Xubuntu, etc). You can have Linux and proprietary
drivers.
By the way, how about some Debian packages for CCP4?
That would make it installable painlessly on both Ubuntu and Debian
systems for academic users, which would be quite cool.
