Along the lines of "don'ts" is don't buy anything from Kodak if you want it
to work well with linux.  Yet another manufacturer that seems to think they
retain some competitive advantage by not releasing enough information for
people to use their equipment.  I had a play with my old man's DVC325 (USB,
640x480 colour).  VERY nice under windows but the linux drivers are severely
crippled due to lack of information

Cheers
