It would be silly to expect a nVidia to support a few distros
specifically with
packages.  To support FC, they would need to build at least two version
(5 and 6)
then 586, or 686 kernels, plus SMP, etc.  Now add a couple more popular
distros
and you have what 10 - 20 builds per driver version?  What about the
near most
popular distros.  They will whine and cry foul.

You do know that it is all automated (mostly) right?
