I have one of those cameras also.. my advice, save yourself a lot of frustration and download (or load) the drivers to windows and run it from there. Sometimes practicality has to over-ride principles. That is unless you simply want the challange of getting the thing running with whatever version of linux you are using. I use mandrake 8.1 as a learning tool and to have fun playing with my computer, but unfortunate as it may seem, for every day tasks, I usually end up using win 200 pro. Dont missunderstand. Im not linux bashing or trying to glorify microsoft. Im just a practical type of person. With the latest release of mandrake, it would appear that much progress has taken place in finally getting a usable altertative to windows. It really strikes me as funny how many die-hard linux gurus are complaining that mandrake 8.1 is too easy to use!!!! I had a friend once that refuses to use anything but ms-dos. He didnt trust the mouse and was used to typing commands and promps. You want a real challange, try to get soundblaster live 5.1 platinum running in linux!!!!
