I think any but the most recent members of this list have noted your position on that subject, Les --- it would have been hard to miss '>


And yet, people still try to run fedora on machines with nvidia and seem surprised by the problems...

I was one who bought a new computer and until today could not tell you had a particular nvitia video card. Today I see the whole computer is full of things made by nvidia. And I was one that tried to run Fedora on it and had the problems and I was surprised. Nobody told me it was bad. I might not have been able to even tell the motherboard had nvidia. The motherboard got rave reviews from Windows users. Why not Fedora?
