The only thing you need to really care about if you are going to use the
nvidia drivers from their website is that you have to "recompile" them
every time you update your kernel. This "recompiling" puts the modules
in the right place for the new kernel. In fact, this is a lot easier
done than said ;-)
Cheers,
Miguel
