will that method work on hardy?

I dont know about Hardy and others.. But it worked perfectly fine for me on Ubuntu 7.10 given with Digit December DVD

@sunny:you can complete ur installation with gutsy;then use vesa driver to have GUI(Gnome).now download and install latest nvidia driver for Linux manually from here,also follow the installation help too:
*www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html

still,Ubuntu gutsy doesnot carry latest nvidia driver 169.09

This is not the detailed method.Each and every step is described in detail here

1) My advice is not to use 64bit unless absolutely needed.

2) Don't use alpha/beta versions of any distro if you are trying out Linux or are a first time user

^ +1.
Best piece of advice to newbies.

well!Debian got 169.09 driver 3 days after nvidia's releasing.but..Ubuntu

well,if not much deps are there,u can use hardy's nvidia-glx + use module-assistant to compile ur kernel modules.
