but its getting really hard to tell myself not to use this, when it supports:

* Xen dom0 and domU
* ZFS
* DTrace
* apt-clone hotness
* gnu core-utils

What more can I ask for?

does aiglx work?

I'd imagine that the hardware driver support is far more extensive for Linux that it is for Solaris.

Having siad that, the bulk of the Nvidia driver is a binary blob that should work on any x86 machine, and the interface from that blob to the kernel is compiled anyway, so nvidia drivers should work.
