I'm not sure what trouble you had, but the NVidia drivers are almost idiot-proof these days. Install your Linux distribution (I use FC3 and can recommend it; others will work great too), then download the driver package and run it. One of the third party RPM distributors (livna.org maybe?) used to have it packaged automatically so you could just do something like "yum update nvidia" to download and install it automagically. The ATI drivers are not so pleasant, however (the last I checked, the still lacked support for the 2.6 kernel). Although the built-in DRI drivers for the ATI 8x00 and 9200 cards run flightgear very well and come standard with your X server.
