I had read that notes a few months ago.
Just buy stuff that works with the OS you choose to purchase, it's that simple.
Unfortunately, the average user you help on IRC does not even have a clue how to open a console and type "init 3" and then explain them how to execute and install the nvidia bimnary installer is a real PITA. ( try yourself one day /join #suse) Users unfortunately does not care a shit about the legal or ethical points on this, if SUSE does not have a quick and **extremely easy** way to do this, they will simple switch to a distribution that is including the drivers or providing a simple tool to install them. or will go back to windows. for me, and probably to every member of this list, installing the binary driver aint a problem, but to the userbase this is a very seriuos showstopper.
