Intel's mystery Linux muckabout is a dangerous ploy at a dangerous time

"At least they ARE supporting Linux, and in NVidia's case, also FreeBSD"

True, and I also use primarily FreeBSD and have NVidia cards in my two main boxes. But both a fairly old now, as are the GFX cards in them. The general consensus on the FreeBSD forums is that AMD is the way to go. NVidias support for FreeBSD (and Linux) isn't bad per se, but can be slow to catch up and often doesn't support all function, especially on more recent cards. Their non-Windows drivers very much seem to be an afterthought. But then, like many hardware manufactures, they probably don't see *nix as much of a market and so give it about as much effort as they think is worth it.
