Just one word of caution for older systems.  I just built out a F10
system for my Dad (who finally got tired of Windows) and he has an old
nVidia GeForce 4 MX card.  The 96-legacy drivers do not currently
build against the F10 kernels.  I'm not sure what the status is of
fixing this, but if you depend on an older nVidia card, I'd wait.
It's fine for my Dad (he's using the computer for email and such), but
if you want to do video, it would be a bad choice.
