[elrepo] Great work!

[Russell Schiwal]

First, I want to say Elrepo is fantastic!  Even after following 
carefully documented procedures on other Linux distros, getting Nvidia 
drivers to load properly is a hit-or-miss proposition. Elrepo never 
fails me.
I have built a Blender Cycles GPU render farm. 4 machines are driving 9 
Nvidia graphics cards on CentOS 7 and Elrepo provided Nvidia drivers. 
You have saved me days of work and frustration.
Would it be possible for Elrepo to distribute Blender. This is a very 
powerful and popular free program that strangely is lacking in CentOS. 
The Cycles GPU renderer was designed to utilize CUDA, which only works 
on actual Nvidia cards and Nvidia drivers. I can manually download and 
extract the program now, so it isn't a huge deal, other than the fact 
that .blend files are not associated with Blender. The reason I ask is 
that Elrepo fits Blender so well I am going to recommend it to the 
Blender forum. Even if you chose to do nothing, Elrepo use will be up. 
Elrepo, CentOS, Nvidia and Blender go together like Oreos and milk.
