    nVidia chipsets don't need that, only Intel and some ATI chipset boards do, and even then that's more of a Windows thing than Linux. You will need a reasonably current Linux distribution though. Fedora Core 6 will work. The Fedora Unity project just released a respin of that with integrated updates:

    I'd get the x86-64 DVD .iso image. After that's installed you'll want to get the current graphics driver from nvidia.com.
