Hi, Dunno if it helps, but a simple google with keywords: "linux download photos from my DSLR Canon 400D" gives on top the list: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375010 As for online filing of tax and any other e-gov activities, the only solution is complain each and everytime you can't access a feature using linux. Then at least they know there are linux users here in Singapore. Make yourself and linux heard, else they will assume linux is just a hobby toy OS for kiddies here and not used for serious bussiness. I've wrote them everytime i can't efile my tax with linux since 9 years ago, and after 2 years, efile of tax for linux works. (BTW, I told them i had to fdisk my friend's computer everytime i borrow it to efile in Windows, just for peace of mind).
