I agree. Part of the reason is that people are just spewing names of components without knowing where they fit in the grand scheme of things. What I would like to see is a list of which groups of these things work best together. Something like, "Given that you use the nvidia driver, these are the best components to use: ...". Or "Given that you are using the XOrg driver, these are the best components to use: ...". I know this is a moving target, but at least this could get many people started with a decent setup. Exploration can happen later. I think that the many descriptions of how to set this up do not make the matter more clear. There is too much of an assumption that everyone knows what the various components are. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
