With the move to the open source model, those involved in managing distros will be able to include the drivers in their repositories. NVIDIA has also worked with Canonical (Ubuntu), SUSE and Red Hat to have kernel modules put into their respective distros, as well as improve package distribution.

However, for normal consumer users, it will be necessary to wait a few more months, since at the moment the source code is considered to be of no higher quality than "alpha".
