Is a very good idea. We have to be better on gamers configurations such as
the voodoo and tnt/geforce series.
However, this tough part of that is: many accelerated drivers are not
open-source [tnt for example] ; and, many games are proprietary or
shareware, that means we cannot include them on our installation cd.
