[Novalug] Linux and a memory camcorder

[Kevin Starkey]

same here Rich (the pixel quality isn't too great tho).  the flip mino
worked fine for me in Ubuntu 8.04.  still works fine in Ubuntu 10.04
beta (which I'm running now).

not sure of the quality of the new ones, but if i were getting a video
camera today, i'd spend a bit more to get something a little better.
