Automatic Linux Driver Updates?

It looks as though all of you Linux guys will soon also have the option to use an automatic driver update system.

Dell and Linux distributors have been working on DKMS for about five years now. Its purpose is to create a framework where kernel-dependent module source can reside, so that it is very easy to rebuild modules. In turn, this enables Linux distributors and driver developers to create driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases. For users, all this makes it easier to get up-to-the-minute drivers without hand compiling device drivers.

That's awesome. I have SuSE and updating drivers on it is terrible. Especially nVidia drivers. Ubuntu is so much easier but it would still be nice.
