The problem with binary drivers it's because of the open source nature of Linux it's internal API's are very dynamic, supporting binary drivers might reduce it's change possibilities thus reducing flexibility (Linux main advantage in my view), see driver doomsday.
If you want to try a free "Linux" distro with proprietary driver support (out of the box) you can try Freespire when it's released (you can also see Groklaw for an OSS view on Freespire).
