nVidia Posts First Linux Graphics Drivers for Opteron
Brian Stretch writes "nVidia posted the first publically available Linux graphics drivers for the Athlon 64 (aka Hammer series) on their website today. There are updates for the lesser x86 and IA64 architectures as well. Now, if only the Athlon 64 and Opteron boards and CPUs themselves were publically available, or is AMD's developer program sending out more of these things than I know? (If so, gimme!) I guess I'll have to tough it out with my mere dual Athlon 2400+ workstation for now (heh heh heh)."
In related news, an anonymous reader writes "The new AMD Opteron servers designed by Newisys are using embedded Linux for system management. This allows remote management via web browser or ssh to examine processor state, switch power on/off, regulate processor power states and fan speeds, update BIOS firmware, etc. See the docs for more info!"
Now you can bring your computer down twice as fast?
On a serious note, has anyone who has run Linux nVIDIA drivers at one time or another NOT crashed their machine with them at least once?
NVidia releases Linux drivers. There's got to be something more interesting in the submission queue.

Hey guy, sounds like you are missing a few inches from your peen. Unfortunately, you'll need more than an Opteron to make up for it.
