Be very careful not to acquire the digital camera until you have
installed and tested Linux on your PC.

All versions of Linux suffer from USB conflicts such that many USB
devices cannot be successfully addressed.

Once you get Linux up and running OK then buy your digital device from a
list online that specifies it as fully Linux compatible. Hold on to your
receipts because it still may not work depending on your motherboard and
bios version.

You might also try a digital camera not on the list, just be prepared to
return it if it does not work.

I have been told that the USB specs are a real nuisance to work with and
thus the hassle for Linux developers.

Have fun!  doc
