Simple Question

[Mr.Chow]

I'm glad there is a newbies corner. I would like to use Linux, I know the flavor I want but I need it to be compatible with the OS, so what my question is,

~ Does Unix drivers work with Linux?

It is a cannon camera. I'm pretty sure that Gphoto a program for linux has the drivers for it. Anyone have any experience with cameras and linux?


Thanks for you time.

You might want to have a closer look at this (http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/60271.html) first Google search result that came up..
Just try out a live CD (I recommend Ubuntu because its so easy) and you should be able to test out your camera for compatibility without even installing.
Good luck!
