I believe you have to go to their 'Advanced Search' and there you need
to find a nvidia driver that fits your environment and has the latest
archive.

June 01, 2009 version is at least stable enough, as far as I can tell.
Remember you should run the shell script on bare console with root
access and CC environment variable enabled.

It should work fine if I carefully follow the on-screen instructions.
