Trisquel's latest release ships experimental NVIDIA 3D support.
Trisquel, the free GNU/Linux distribution, has just released a new version, based on Linux-libre 2.6.35 and GNOME 2.32.
There is a long list of bugfixes and improvements, but one of the most exciting new features is the availability of an experimental Nouveau driver for NVIDIA cards. It enables 3D acceleration using fully free software. Because it's not stable on all cards yet, it's off by default, but if you have an NVIDIA card, give it a try!
We'll also be shipping this release on our FSF membership cards!
