ATI Drivers For Linux

The other day ATI released new linux drivers for their Radeon cards, complete with a new graphical installer. In the past, I have had nothing but gried with ATI drivers, never successfully getting 3D acceleration working. However, this time, once I went through the process and ran the configuration, when the display server restarted, and I loaded up Tuxracer (hey, everyone uses it as an indication on whether acceleration is working), what I got was smoothe graphics.
Now, if the same process that I used on my lab machine works on my home machine, I might not need to use Windows anymore.
On a side note, my Windows machine has been running for almost 2 months now with no major problems, but since Win2k support is being discontinued, I wonder how long that is going to last.
