When I was using linux_base-7 I had several linux programs missing
certain versions of libstdc++ libraries.  The installed version was
something like libstdc++.so.3 and the program needed something like
libstdc++.so.9.  Since I installed linux_base-rh-9, they now run, though
UT2004 has problems in-game.  Before I upgraded linux_base, it didn't
even start.  Also, linux-XFree86-libs isn't needed for linux_base-7,
there already part of it, but they seperated it out for rh-9 I guess.

And UT2004 runs just fine in Linux with my GeForce4 MX440 and since
Doom 3 runs pretty good in both linux and freebsd with my geforce 4, I'd
say the nvidia drivers are probably pretty good.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
