IDE cable? AFAIK, that has nothing to do with digital cameras. If you have a 
desktop computer with a USB port, any distro with the 2.4 kernel will see the 
CF card in the camera straight away as a SCSI device and you can mount it as 
a normal drive. Just use the cable that comes with the 2500.

If you have a laptop either use the USB port or buy an inexpensive PCMCIA 
adapter ($10) and the CF card will again be recognized.

You'll not only be able to swap pictures to the hard drive but use the CF 
card to back up files on your computer.
