AMD gets frisky with Linux users!

[Mindf!3ldzX]

AMD announced last evening, October 31st, the immediate availability for download of the AMD Catalyst 11.10 video driver for Linux platforms.

The new AMD Catalyst 11.10 driver brings initial support for the Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system. It also brings production support for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 operating system.

A few improvements are also present in the new AMD Catalyst 11.10, especially for the AMD Brazos platform, as well as lots of bugfixes, such as a segmentation fault issue for the Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) 64-bit edition and GNOME Shell corruption issues.

The AMD Catalyst 11.10 video driver has support for the following Linux-based operating systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE Linux and Ubuntu Linux.

the one down side about linux is it doesn't support silverlight, for netflix to work on it.

but of course there are other movie sites that are free, that will work fine so w/e.

there is moonlight but its not compatible with new firefox. heh.

And it doesn't work for netflix anyways.

I don't overly like the new look of ubuntu 11.10

wish there was a way to change it to the old look, but w/e.

Just recently put it on a computer that i put a brain back into yesterday, and threw an old ide drive in it heh.

new ubuntu looks odd to me.
