Abstract
We present numerical evidence that there are two distinct universality classes characterizing driven interface roughening in the presence of quenched disorder. The evidence is based on the behavior of , the coefficient of the nonlinear term in the growth equation. Specifically, for three of the models studied, at the depinning transition, while for the two other models, .
