Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any decent drivers for my M6300 for Fedora9.

I work in a Microsoft World, meaning I need to RDP into Win 2003 servers and XP Machines to do anything productive.

This proves to be an issue because there is no acceptable software to RDP into a windows machine.

Not a heartstop, but without any drivers to enable desktop effects on a Quadro FX 1600 M, I’m left with a vanilla install of Fedora.

Using Ubuntu, it would in the past download the non free driver for the video card, but as of this week, that is no longer possible.

I would LOVE to move to Fedora, and would prefer to stay away from Ubuntu if possible, but it doesn’t look like it will be an option any time soon.

Vmware is not even close to opensource software. The fact that it runs on Linux doesn’t say anything about it’s development model!

VMWare Workstation is neither open source nor free software, and DesktopLinux never claimed that. Perhaps you should update the article :)

“source software such as VMWare Workstation 6″ VMWare is _very_ not open source.
