Agreed. How does one acquire the latest? It's very confusing where
things come from.
System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers
* Shows that nvidia proprietary driver is in use. OK. (which version?? ...
useless)
Actually running nvidia-settings shows:
* Version = 96.43.13
Running Ubuntu 9.10:

This is how (I believe) the nvidia drivers are acquired:
