[solved] Sony .ARW files and Linux

I took a ton of pictures today on a Sony Alpha 100 SLR camera in it's own "raw" format called ARW.  Surprisingly, the GIMP can't read them!  What do I need to do to be able to read this file format in Linux?  It's really important that I get this taken care of because I spent several hours taking hi-res pictures that we'll eventually use to wrap the truck for our business!

gimp-ufraw was exactly what I needed!  I got the pictures finished and we're going to be working on designing the truck in about a half hour.

It might be a month or so perhaps, but I'll post a pic of the truck when it's wrapped
