Open Source NVIDIA Drivers

To be totally honest, I am not sure of what exactly their goal is with this project, as NVIDIA's Linux drivers are some of the best in the industry, but Phoronix is headlining the Nouveau a community product that is working on kicking out open-source 3D drivers for NVIDIA cards. Interesting at least.

Nouveau is not affiliated with NVIDIA Corporation and is an X.Org Foundation project. While this project is still far from being completed, for this holiday special we are sharing some of our first thoughts on this project from our experience thus far. We would like to make it very clear, however, that the Nouveau driver is no where near completed and still has a great deal of work ahead for the 3D component. This article today will also hopefully shed some light on the advancements of this project so far.
