Video drivers?  I differ from Arnt's philosophy and make sure I run with
nvidia graphics hardware + the nvidia drivers on all my linux machines ...
seems like there are always problems with other vendors and open-source 3d
drivers and opengl libs.  It's good some people try these other paths and
hopefully they can contribute to improving support for other hardware, and
I'd love for a future with many 3d graphics choices under linux, all of
which are rock solid ... but until that day arrives, I just stick with
nvidia hardware and run their drivers.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger. 
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
