Same here, been using nvidia + linux for quite sometime already (since
FC1 I guess, maybe even RH9 -- I have upgraded from a TNT2 to a
4200Ti and now to a 6800GT), support definitely has improved over
the years. And, ever since Matthias Saou made DKMS nvidia package 
available from Freshrpms (thks Matthias! =)), I haven't needed to
manually install nvidia's .run driver packages. (even back then when I
needed to do it, all I had to do was run the .run package with -aqn
parameters and all would go well in under 5min)

Of course, YMMV.
