Replace Windows with Debian sarge?

Don't want to do that? hmm...  
http://packages.debian.org/testing/libs/libgphoto2-2
Download the source, patch, compile and install it.

May or may not work, I still haven't tried mandrake since I had problems
with it. 

I'm also not sure how that will interfere with the Mandrake package
manager. Does mandrake have a source RPM for this package, what version
is it, and will the debian patch apply to it?
