Yes, but . . . .

As one who uses the computer as a tool to get certain
jobs done, I have no interest in this level of tinkering.

Imagine for the moment that every time you needed to refill
the windshield washer bottle in your car, you had to disassemble
the entire mechanism and recalibrate the pump pressure.

Desktop users shouldn't have to go through this kind of
tear-down and rebuild every time the Red Hat "up2date"
program drops a new kernel in the hopper.

Sean,

who has been mightily tempted by this thread to give up on
his nvidia card and replace it with an ATI.
