Any camera that uses the "USB Mass Storage" protocol is absolutely the way to go. Stay away (far-far away) from any other protocol. USB Mass Storage will be recognized as any other usb drive when you plug the camera into your Linux box, and probably you will get an icon popping up for it on the desktop. Cool, huh? I love my Olympus.
