First of all, thank you for your amazing work, Greg. Now one more element : Quite a few USB/IEEE1394 devices are in fact supported by third party software usually not coded as kernel drivers, and a lot of them do not bother not being Linux-aware. The one I am most interested in is digital cameras (DSLR, to be precise), for all the things not related to image transfers (these use the Mass Storage protocol most of the time). Using a DSLR controlled from a computer requires a Win machine or a Macintosh today, and this is heavily used in studios. This is the last obstacle for full-Linux image companies. We could then suggest a few breakthroughs (revision control integrated in a document management system for example), and these could make the difference. I'd have some time to spend on it as soon as I get a camera. I'll try to contact the Open-Source friendliest manufacturer first (Pentax, whose lens mount is mostly open, who allows for a documented raw format : these are fair signs of openness). -- Beno?t Donnette - Expert TM2L/OSSA - www.08000linux.com LINAGORA - 27 rue de Berri - 75008 PARIS LINAGORA recrute : http://www.linagora.com/societe/nous_rejoindre/ "A logiciel libre, rien d'impossible !"
