Very intresting.. I'm going to have to check this out soon as I get home.
. All of our office machines run RH9, but I am using FC1 at home.. I
like just about everything Ximian puts out so it can't be that bad..
As for mounting the camera I got as far as finding it at /dev/sda, and it
properly identifys my camera model and such, but get error when probing
for what file system it uses.. Tried forcing a few without luck.. need
to keep playing I guess.. :)
