[vox-tech] new gaming computer

[Dylan Beaudette]

for some hints on maintaining a working nvidia binary driver (kernel and 
X.org) I have put some of my notes here:

http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/299

of particular interest is the source article here:

http://home.comcast.net/%7Eandrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html

Note that this is for a debian system, might work on debian-derivatives... ?

Cheers,

Dylan
