Another Ubuntu Win: USB Devices
I’ve been running Ubuntu for about a year. I still have an XP desktop at home, but most of my time is spent on a Ubuntu laptop or the Alienware box I converted last July. Sometimes things are little harder or impossible on Ubuntu. Dual monitors on an ATI card was a pain, for example. However, support for USB devices seems to be awesome, and today Ubuntu did something easily for me that I couldn’t get XP to do.
I recently got a Sanyo Katana (SCP-6600). It has a VGA camera. It’s set up so that you have to pay some outrageous fee to send the pictures over the network, so you can download them from the Sprint Web site. Lame defensibility at work.
So, I found that you can buy a cable that has USB on one end and a connector on the other end that goes in the phone.
