Linux distribution without nvidia drivers preinstalled?
Ok I used to run Ubuntu since 10.04 version and i really like it, but now i have damaged nvidia graphic card which can't run with drivers installed (i just get splash screen and then nothing but mess of colors).

Debian itself doesn't have the Nvidia drivers installed by default or if you want a bleeding edge Debian based distro, have a look at Siduction which is based on the unstable branch.

If Fedora works for you, it may be easier to get your server working. Are you getting a particular error message?

Is Fedora using the VESA driver (generic - supported by most all cards) or the Nouveau (open source nVidia) driver?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Nouveau is the default driver for Fedora.

I thought that was the default for Debian and most other distros these days?
