Freeware is still proprietary software. It isn't free software or open source. > Ihave found the Nvidia drivers to be rock solid. Yeah, right! (ironically) I remember when I depended on them years ago and the kernel version changed. I was unable to build/install and use them, because of the incompatible binary-blob-object file. If the the source was available they could have been patched by me or someone else. > But if a hardware manufacturer is decent enough to supply GOOD Linux support, > I am > hardly going to turn up my nose at it. In fact it encourages me to buy from > them! I will agree on that, but the definition of "good support" have to be documentation and/or free software drivers. Proprietary drivers are not helping. When they stop supporting an old model we'll be doomed. I've been there, thanks, but no thanks. I want free software. > There is simply too much unnecessary > complication clogging the arteries of all -IX systems. Pure text mode, then. :)
