first off -- Congrats about the baby...

And yeah, Linux Rocks!! RH 9 is on all three of my home PC's now, I only use 
1 install of windows purely for games.

when newer games like Ghost Recon, GTA Vice City and stuff come out on 
Linux, then ill BURN my ms stuff.

I bought a digital camera today (since we are having a baby any minute
now...).  The Olympus line supports the USB mass storage.

So, I take some pictures, boot up my RHAT 9 laptop, plug in the camera and
it's autodeteced by USB driver.

I mount the camera:  mount -t vfat /dev/sd1 /mnt/camera

Viola!  Pictures downloaded.

I guess I can throw away the Windows disk that came with the camera.
