Here's the Edgy instructions.
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graph ics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
I'm a debian guy so it's a bit different but close. Oddly I've had better
luck with the beta drivers listed in the section following.
Reportedly Shuttleworth/Ubuntu have decided they're going to break the seal
and start shipping binary drivers/firmware with Ubuntu in the relatively
near future. As an info-anarchist I don't like this, I'd prefer that nVidia
and/or ATI would publish enough specs to reverse engineer the driver, but
that ain't gonna happen.
By FAR the largest barrier to normal people using linux is the lack of drivers
for video cards and wireless network cards (and increasingly, onboard ethernet)
at install time. It's not hard to get the stuff working, but it's harder
than Windows or OS X. Which is why I think Ubuntu is throwing in the towel
and shipping the non-free drivers.

Personally, I would love to see a group like the ZetaOS sue the crap
out of hardware manufacturers who refuse to work with them to develop
drivers.
In a related lawsuit, I would REALLY love to see a class action suit
against Comcast and all the other big ISPs for refusing to support
LINUX. They are f**king billionaires sucking in big bucks from all of
us, but can't seem to hire 100 Linux gurus to support this OS. No
offense, Mac users, but for every one of you, I know 5 people who run
Linux as their main OS, so I know the numbers are there to support
Linux.
Lawyers! Where are the lawyers? We need more LAWYERS!!!

Well, with the way IP law is run these days we're more likely to see the free
software community getting sued for (legally) reverse engineering a driver
than what you suggest. I find this especially galling because the linux kernel
devs have pretty much caved 100% and will develop/maintain drivers if companies
will do really simple things like have a contact person who will answer questions
on occasion.
http://www.kroah.com/log/2007/01/29/#free_drivers
But beyond that what I find especially galling is the callous treatment of
free software by people who even make money off of it. SSH is used by EVERYONE,
from Cisco routers to home DSL modems to essentially every shopping card/credit
card charging web site in the world. It's maintained by Theo de Raadt and
the FreeBSD crew and last year he had to go begging for money just to keep
the lights turned on. That companies like Apple and Cisco rake in billions
using BSD licensed tech like that and Theo is trying to scrape up $40k to
keep his web servers running and pay for travel so third world developers
can join in on bug squashing weekends, well, it's awful. Which is why when
someone says 'nobody supports linux' it pisses me off, because linux people
support linux a whole lot better than most for profit OS people support what
they release.
That said, on a positive note, I had a good linux experience with HP. Or
rather a friend did. He bought my old HP laptop from me, it was only a year
old or so. He's a good friend so I cut him a great deal and went over to
do the setup at his house. Bless his heart there was a bottle of Patron there
so I started sipping tequila and setting up Ubuntu and his wireless and so
on. After an hour and a half of work (not on the laptop, but on his screwy
Netgear wireless router) I realized that tequila had the better of me and
I ought to call it a night. Everything was working save the wireless card.
I called him a day or two later to find a time to finish up and he said he
had called HP phone support and they walked him through setting up the wifi
driver in Ubuntu! Very nice, I'll be buying more HP gear in the future.

Thad,
I don't think people who don't use linux understand the current state of
the linux union. Besides the fact that most of the web runs on it, and that
IBM has bet the farm on linux - the desktop is pretty hot now too.
Consider the latest bootable ISO distros (run from CD). I mounted the MEPIS
ISO in a VM, booted and five minutes later linux was up and running. There
was an icon on the desktop that said install me. I was happily browsing
the web via a wireless network card in firefox WHILE the OS was installing!
The other thing to consider is that vendors rarely have answers to complex
problems, while google groups and the linux sites almost always do.

Hi Chuck,
The first time I ran Ubuntu I didn't even realize it was loading of the
CD instead of being installed!! Until I removed the CD then Windows ME
started to boot!!!
Yuck.
Actually decided to click the right button and install it on the HD.
About 10 min till it was up and running.
For everything outside of pro audio, video and gaming it had everything
I would need for general computer use.

Yeah, I'm a debian guy so my live CD of choice is Knoppix (also, I can read
German which can be helpful), but I understand exactly what you're saying.
As a computer geek I am often asked to fix peoples' broken computers. I have
a stripped down Knoppix install that boots off a 4 GB pen drive I have on
my keychain. Whenever people see it they ask what I'm doing and I show them
what a live linux boot CD looks like. Everyone seems to think it's some geek
extravaganza (which, of course, it can be) but it can also be just a nice
computer.
Somewhere there was an article that I read once talking about Windows boxes
vs. Apple boxes vs. linux boxes and compared them to cars. The writer said
that at the Windows dealership all they sell are ugly station wagons. They
worked OK most of the time and are cheap and pretty much everyone buys them.
The Mac dealership across the street is selling sporty European cars that
look really nice and cost a little more. Then down the block was this big
parking lot with giant tanks that ran 100 mph, could drive through walls,
used waste paper for fuel, that almost never broke down and whenever they
did some really smart mechanic would show up and fix them for free. Oh, and
the keys were in the ignition and a big sign on the side said 'TAKE ONE,
KEEP IT IF YOU LIKE.' And everyone lines up to buy a station wagons or an
expensive Mercedes anyway.

Absolutely! Of course, I think the second barrier is that many of the apps
that I (and many others) use do not work under Linux. I'm still a firm
believer in the idea of picking the application before picking the OS. For
example, I don't care how zealous you are about Ardour, it just doesn't
compare to Cakewalk, Cubase, DP, Logic, ProTools, Samplitude, etc. (And
what about that PARIS thAng?) Because I have picked applications before
operating systems, I am now running three different operating systems on my
personal computers, and five different operating systems at work. So
what...! They're all so similar any more, it doesn't matter.
<troll>
I'm still a firm believer that "free" software has never been completely
free - every major oss project that I know of was funded by DARPA, some
university grant, IBM, or some other funding entity. Of COURSE IBM likes
Apache and Linux - it's not benevolent, it's opportunistic! They get to
throw a little bit of money at a bunch of naive zealots who love them for
it, while they make HUGE profits off of the work! Wake up and smell the
coffee open source developers! You're getting screwed!
</troll>
I'm reading an interesting book, "WIKINOMICS, How Mass Collaboration Changes
Everything" - it is definitely the "feel good open source book of the
summer". Check it out if you're a linux/open source fan - it's a great
piece of apologetics, but I think it's just preaching to the choir. What I
think the authors (and many linux people) forget is that it is indeed a
"religion" and it's fairly hard to convince members of other religions to
jump ship and join you...

Doug, agreed on all points, and I'm not using Ardour either. My two non-linux
machines are for audio apps, and I realize that's not going to change.
About the big names. I think IBM has been a pretty good citizen. Yes, they
make a lot of money but I think they put some real effort to improve GPL'd
code as well. The Eclipse IDE, for example, is something they wouldn't have
had to give away and did. Other companies, obviously, haven't done as well.
And lastly, the free I care about most is access to source. Not that I'm
going to rewrite Apache, but there's a different level of troubleshooting,
investigation, and fixing possible when I can see logs and source the way
I can with foss software.
But that's just me,

Hi Neil,
For the desktop ... Linux is great for surfing/browsing/document editing/administration/playing
audio video.
What works great is to run the OS you want for audio, and install a linux
virtual machine on it. This will allow you to safely browse and do whatever
the heck else you want, while leaving your base machine completely untouched.

Hey Chuck... I have a whole separate machine for that other
stuff... the only time my DAW rig sees the internet is when I
have to download an update or plugin. I was just wondering if
Linux is less bloated/more streamlined, and would run audio
better.

Hi Neil,
It can be as streamlied as you want. It doesn't run any steiny apps, or
pro tools, or really any commercial daw. So for 'our' uses as recordists,
it's usability is about nil right now. A lot of people would take exception
to that comment, but it's a practical statement.
It's cool to have a separate machine for the browsing stuff. Some people
want it all on one box :-)
I can't tell you guys enough how cool virtual machines are though.

Hi,
There was at one point a fully function version of Nuendo 1.0 on BeOS
that Steinberg was close to making available but Be went bye bye.
Nuendo and Cubase are both developed on Unix so that they can keep the
cross platform part more manageable.
I would think that once if ever the Linux world decided they want be a
viable contender in the audio/video world instead of just the
network/business world then we will see a bunch of current apps make the
jump. The audio/video is much much smaller world money wise than
IT/business but but wouldn't at least some of the Linux geeks rather be
rock stars .:)

Hi Chris,
I think you are right. AFAIK Steiny code is 100% cross platform c and c++.
The SDK, publicly available, includes examples that will compile on anything.
The linux community wont get behind vst/asio because it's 'closed source',
the SDK uses the wrong license model...

I understand the reasoning behind an open source model, but at least
from the audio community perspective, the Linux community could be biting
the hand that feeds it... well... could feed it very tiny morsels of musical
goodness. Not exactly corporate IT... :-)
Licenses aren't getting more open in the audio world - if anything they are
tightening. I guess that means we will probably never see audio apps on
Linux - looks like Zeta really might have a better chance.
I doubt Ubuntu Studio is going to supplant Nuendo, Protools and Final Cut
Pro anytime soon.

Dedric,
I really meant that VST uses the wrong model to the linux guys.
I can download the VST SDK, including source for several example plugs, build
them on two platforms, and distribute new plugins royalty free - that's free
enough for me :-)
