This weekend I installed Ubuntu on my scanning PC - tonight I finally fired up
the scanner running the linux version of VueScan and it is churning away, batch
scanning 12 35mm exposures. Great!
So far this meets all my main goals -
- Dual Boot with WinXp so I can run old NikonScan and Canon Filmget programs.
Any reason you're not using Virtualbox? That'll save you having to dual boot.
I don't know what hardware interface you're using for the scanners but it's
possible to capture USB devices. Firewire isn't supported. Don't know about
SCSI.
I'm not much help with your questions, I only use Linux for server-side stuff :)
Cheers,

Thanks, Dave - I actually didn't know about Virtual box so that's one
reason... But on the hardware side the Nikon scanner is Firewire and
backup Canoscan is either USB 1.1 or SCSI (when I used it I used SCSI).
So the hardware issues moved me to put the scanner on a separate
machine. I have not yet tested the SCSI card in Ubuntu.
