Nvidia driver -why so hard to install?

["Willem-Jan Meijer" <meyer3@chello.nl>]

Hello all,

Hello all,

I just received a set of SuSE cd's from a friend of mine who's now using
mandrake

So I installed it, and during the installation there was a question about
wich driver to use for my geforce2 mx. There was also a possibility to
enable 3d acceleration. I turned it on and finished the installation. When I
logged in at kde 3.0.5 and started tuxracer to test the 3d capabilities IT
WORKED :D

I didn't had to compile modules, kernels and all that stuff - it just works.
It's using kernel 2.4.20, maybe is that te problem in debian ( I don't know
how to do a kernel upgrade ). I don't like SuSE (too much wizards), but it's
easy to use nvidia cards - and I like that

But why is it in SuSE 8.1 easy and painless but so hard in debian woody?
