Similar story.  My mother refuses to use anything but the most basic camera, 
and I picked up a CIF camera for £5.  I installed the windows software on my 
dual-boot laptop,  It was a dog.  I succeeded in accidentally deleting all 
her pictures.  I hated it, and was afraid that she'd never forgive me if I 
deleted something that she actually cared about.  I tried it in linux, not 
expecting to succeed.  Digikam found it, identified it, and works perfectly 
with it.
