nvidia-kernel-2.6-amd64 vs nvidia-kernel-dkms method

[Mike Viau <viaum@sheridanc.on.ca>]

Hello,

I was just wondering what the advantages of using the nvidia-kernel-2.6 packages were in contrast to what I am/have been using which is the nvidia-glx package which depends on nvidia-kernel-dkms to compile the NVIDIA driver module (with the kernel headers) into /lib/modules/${kernel_version}/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko

Has the nouveau code been stripped from the nvidia-kernel-2.6 packages so that it only used the NVIDIA driver module?

Thanks.
