I don't know your specific needs when it comes to scanning, but a few years ago (2005) I got an Epson Perfection 2400 on eBay for about $15 USD. It is USB and has worked great with Gentoo (media-gfx/iscan)... Epson seems to have an active Linux driver development team with releases usually every month, and you can check their website for recently added scanners to the supported list. I have not used any other scanner in Linux, but so far I am perfectly happy with this Epson (especially for $15). http://avasys.jp/english/linux_e/ Regards, Paul
