RE: RedHat & nVidia Drivers

krm31700
Hey there, I am a newbie, and I just installed and made my computer a dual boot. What I am trying to do is get a driver installed for my desktop PC ( the nVidia drivers). I never used Linux in my entire life but I am now learning it in school and it is blowing me away at how awsome it is.
