I have been trying very hard to get my Acer 640BU flat bed scanner to work under Suse and finally it is a goer. I upgraded any packages to do with sane xsane or libsane and installed the latest version of hot plug. My scanner has always been recognised before but if it was "asleep" there is no way Suse or any linux would "wake" it up. The scane quality under Sane is superb, better than windows by a long way. I've been trying Apt-get for Suse and it seems very good. Overall impression of Suse 8.1 is "I like it". Steve. PS. Installed win4lin the other night and that runs my accounts package beautifully.
