I want to buy a scanner, and of course to run it only under linux or *bsd systems. The Sane compatibility list would help me in choosing a useable model, but I want to make sure I buy from a company that has made free-software support easy -- preferably one that has provided a perfectly working backend under a FSF or OSF approved licence.
Can anyone point me to a "laud or shame" page of scanner manufacturers, or just advise me which have been the most open and helpful or the most arkward manufacturers? Nathaniel
