If you just want to download/upload pictures, I'd recommend a standalone
card reader for your specific card type. They're very cheap these days, and
most of them work beautifully with linux. If you're using a laptop, you may
be able to find a pcmcia adapter for your card (less "loose" things in your
luggage when you travel). Another advantage of using a card reader is
that you save battery when downloading pictures.
