But one thing from the howto can possibly be made simpler...
Actually you can get the latest drivers more easily from the x-updates PPA. Follow the instructions there, then do an apt-get update; then if the standard Jaunty nvidia drivers are already installed, an apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade them to the latest available (at time of writing, 185.18.14, the same as in the manual install in the howto). If it's not already installed, apt-get install nvidia-glx-180.
Excellent information!
