disconnected from the computer and then transfer them onto the
computer, I suggest you use a CompactFlash card reader.  They are
inexpensive, are much faster, and are simple to setup in Linux as the
CompactFlash card will be seen as a removable disk.

Thanks, I'll check that out.  My Dell laptop supports about n kinds of Compact flash cards and my camera takes the (n+1)th one.  :)
