Duemilanove USB cable type

Hi,

I just plan to buy a Duemilanove board, but I am not sure about the USB type used on it and I cannot find the answer on the pages.
I assume that the cable must be a USB A - USB B type like here (sparkfun.com dir: commerce/product_info.php?products_id=512 (why I should not post an URL?)) and not a USB A - USB A type.
Am I right?

Thanks,
Richard

Finally I have found the answer in the getting started page:

"You also need a standard USB cable (A plug to B plug): the kind you would connect to a USB printer, for example."

USB A-A cables do not officially exist. (Or rather, they're not supposed to.)
