需要注意的是，许多Linux分发版本以其原生压缩包管理格式提供自己的NVIDIA Linux图形驱动程序压缩包。这样能够更好地与这些分发版本的其余构架互动，用户可能更愿意使用此类驱动程序而非NVIDIA的官方压缩包。
还要注意的是，SuSE用户在下载驱动程序之前应该阅读SuSE NVIDIA 安装程序指南。
安装说明：一旦下载完驱动程序，就换到包含驱动程序压缩包的文件夹，通过将下列内容作为根目录来运行，安装驱动程序。
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run
最后一个安装步骤会提升是否更新X配置文件。选择更新，或手动编辑X配置文件以采用NVIDIA X驱动程序，或者运行
nvidia-xconfig
