I can +kind of understand that, although in the case of nvidia you'd think they +had already done the bug fixing. + +Anyway, in the case of the latest nvidia version it certainly does have +new features, because it supports newer cards. In this case, it's not a +big thing because it's relatively easy for me to install, but I would +think that for new users who have modern software you'd really want them +to have access to it. After all M2 is the latest stable release. + + + +On 20/01/13 18:03, Juan Luis Baptiste wrote: +><i> On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 11:30 AM, Robert Wood +</I>><i> <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">robert.wood at apostrophe.co.uk</A>> wrote: +</I>>><i> Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really make sense or seem to answer the +</I>>><i> question.
