I've read it's more 'bleeding edge'

I'm not sure if 173 is installed as the script I ran from TTY was NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06, and that version number equates to nvidia-glx-185.

If I add the ubuntu-x-swat repo, refresh sources, and sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185, will that remove nvidia-173 (if installed, synaptic says it's not) *AND* NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06?
