For us Linux guys around there :D

Release Highlights:
* Added support for SLI FrameRendering. Please see the README
for details.
* Added support for new GPUs such as the GeForce 6100 and GeForce 6150.
* Added a new utility 'nvidia-xconfig', which is a commandline
tool for updating X configuration files.
* Added manpages for 'nvidia-xconfig', 'nvidia-settings', and
'nvidia-installer'.
* Improved workstation OpenGL performance on Solaris.
* Made UseEdidFreqs "on" by default; the NVIDIA X driver will

EDID whenever possible.
* Added support for Stereo Digital Flat Panels such as the SeeReal
and Sharp3D DFPs.
* Added HTML version of the README.
* Added support for static Rotation; see the "Rotate" X config option
in the README.

As usually, the driver is available for download at the Nvidia's website.
