Thanks LDiego.
I may have to build it myself as you indicated but I'll try to keep that as a last resort. I am still very inexperienced with Linux and have never even attempted to play around with the build (only apt-get in Ubuntu and playing around with certain files in Android as instructed for mods).
Does anyone know or can get me in contact with the guy who gave the demo in Maker-Faire Rome on using Galileo with his DSLR though USB? Looks like he already has "in the bag" (If he's willing to share 
).
