And some users are running both rock-hard servers and bleeding-edge
desktops.
As for the nVidia drivers on Free BSD, there's a link on nVidia's driver
page, the same link for linux drivers, that takes you to
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html which has a wonderful section
called "
Free BSD
Latest Version: 1.0-4365
". Just thought I'd clear that up for any FreeBSD users running nVidia
cards.
