I use Linux. It rocks. I just setup a new computer and want to use it to get the photos from my digital camera. I know that this is possible and not too difficult because I've done it before (gphoto2 and gtkam). I got all the software setup and my camera plugged in, but it still didn't work. I found the problem within 2 minutes of reading the gphoto manual - you can't have any usb camera drivers loaded in th kernel - you must let gphoto handle the drivers itself. Ah Ha, I had compiled with Kodak DC2xx drivers because I thought I might need them. I just have to recompile my kernel without it and then it'll work. Then I can email my photos to people.
