[CoLoCo] Gutsy with Nvidia

[Mitch Smith]

The best place to check to see if anyone is having issues with any of your hardware is in the development forums.  Check here and read through the posts... http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=238   If I recall it may have been hit and miss on some of the systems but most are not having problems.Mitch Smith "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."
