nVidia 331.20 - Linux 64 bit released today

Side note: WHQL actually stands for "windows hardware quality lab-or-something". So I don't think there is anything like that on linux.. but that's just wording. If nVidia said it's a stable long-term support driver, that should be all we need to know.

I did also wonder why nVidia used WHQL on the forum here.

NVidia are saying it is ¨Recommended Version¨now and it seems stable, so hopefully we will get to try some CUDA 5.5 tasks soon.

I have not seen any unexpected errors or issues since installing.
