I'm on debian Etch... Close to ubuntu... I use the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09-pkg1.run from the NVidia site, not a package managed version. > Also if anyone has built FGcvs on ubuntu 7.04 or other ubuntu do you > use the ubuntu Mesa packages or the Mesa source. I use the Mesa packages from debian (probably the same as Ubuntu), also the OSG 2.0 source package is available on debian experimental.
