I don't suppose our camera uses any kind of removable media? I have a Cannon that uses compact flash and it was a snap to read the card under linux. It has a USB port as well, and I tried that under windows but I like accessing the card as a regular partition much better. (Easier to interface with I think...cp rather than clicking around a stupid interface!) The other thing to look at is gPhoto (http://www.gphoto.org). It has support for many cameras. Regarding the distro choice...I'll toss in my $.02 as well. I love debian, but would have been rather lost without trying redhat and mandrake first. I found I out-grew them and moved to debian, but if I had to do it again, I'd still start out with redhat or mandrake. Dave On Tue, 2001-10-30 at 13:09, Lorry wrote: > I hate ME intensely.
