My new old camera just arrived!! I am rather excited. It's a Casio Exilim EX-M2 — from the previous series to my previous EX-S20, with the same resolution, a much worse user interface and (the thing I'm really excited about) MP3 playback built in. Ubuntu also recognises it as an external drive without a hiccup. ( Here's the first shot I took with it. )

Pick your Leegnux for its purpose. Debian for an insanely stable server configuration (with current software installed by hand), Ubuntu for a shiny desktop with toys (and a "We KNOW where you're going today" experience if you don't like the defaults), Red Hat because your CTO foolishly thinks their support is worth shit, Gentoo when you're smoking crack, LFS when you're smoking crack you brewed yourself in your basement.

Off to a job interview now. Cross fingers! I think I'll be all smiles today ...
