Joris, you want to switch to a proprietary platform just to get your scanner
to work?! I understand that Lindows will cost $99 (I'm not sure what they are
going to do about GPL in their code) Firstly, Lindows is likely to be killed
to MS or the market. Secondly, scanners cost less. Thirdly, I would value
computing freedom a bit more than the price of a typical scanner.
