OK, USB support on Linux still seems to be a problem with vuescan.
I'm wondering though, what would happen with a SCSI scanner.
I own an Epson GT-7000 (SCSI) which works nice with both xsane and
vuescan, but my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual (SCSI) slide scanner is
AFAIK supported by vuescan only - and I like the quality of vuescan.

I think I shall buy an AMD64 based PC, but I stick with EIDE-disks and
Suse 9.0 32bit for the beginning, and leave the experiments to those
who can afford it ;-) 

Thanks a lot to all who responded, this is a great forum!
