Thanks Rick for all your help !

Good idea ! The only one there @ present is a little dated, as it used Sarge and wasn't 
complete.

Great !

P.S. I thought getting XOrg running would be tricky (don't have much experience with window 
managers as I usually run headless with a console) but it was pretty easy to get it 
configured. I just had to run 'dpkg-reconfigure Xorg' make some alterations and then 
'startx' to get XFce4 up.

Now I can use my legacy scsi scanner on a modern OS. :-D
