From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What software do you use? I still haven't found any good scanning software for Linux.
Simple Scan works well for me.
Any SANE front-end will do. I usually use xsane.
Not really. I've tried a lot of scanning apps but they were all grotty. If you scan a lot of documents, decent scanning software is pretty important. You can't just fiddle around for a few minutes with every page.
I don't do much scanning, perhaps 5 times a year, and it's sufficient for my needs. I can definitely see how it leaves gaps if you do a ton of scanning.
