My wife is thinking about biting the bullet and switching from a film Canon Rebel EOS to the new Digital XTi. I have a couple of questions since we are running FC5 on the primary computer that we would use to snag and edit the pictures: i) Will the XTi be happy and communicate with FC5? ii) What are the options for Linux software that will work with the camera? iii) Any ideas on what limitations that I will run into using Linux vs. Windoze? iv) I know that my wife will need to learn to use Gimp but would there be any advantage to installing VMware and using the supplied Canon utilities (please I hope not!)? I am happy to do the research myself but I not quite sure where to start. Thanks in advance to anyone who has some experience with digital photography - you could take what I know about the subject and it wouldn't fill a thimble! Charlie
