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. Alec
