Is there a ubuntu with nvidia drivers and other restricted drivers available? i have a offline workstation which im trying to play around with, and cant get the compiz graphics working because i cant workout how to install the packages of the nvidia drivers offline

Any ideas?

if you download the appropriate drivers from the nVidia unix drivers page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
then copy the drivers to the offline workstation (with usb drive/cd/whatever), then you should be able to install them from there. There's some instuctions on that page i think how to install the drivers too

hope this helps, good luck with it

Easiest thing would be to download LinuxMint. It's Ubuntu with all those proprietary drivers.

You'll want to download the "Main Edition"

Should be 100% compatible with Ubuntu.
