Seriously, on my win laptop I downloaded driver - installed rebooted- plugged in camera and took photos and captured video. In Linux I had to read posts - fail at first few attempts to get driver working, compile fom source sheesh ! Then try to figure out software that works!

Incidentally, with the latest Ubuntu, slapped in a wireless Airnet
PCMCIA, all automatic, no special configs needed at all. We are seeing
this more and more. If you stay up to date with your kernels and
packages, the less trouble you'll have. Never really had any burning
problems except way back in the day, even then it was a matter of scsi
stuff loading.
Lately, we have been amazing customers when we install newly configured
boxes with existing printers, digital cameras, just plug 'em in. I love
when they all ask, no software needed??!! In which I reply with a
simplistic, nope. (accompanied with a slight grin) ;)
