“I finally broke down and shelled out some dollars for
a scanner, an Epson Perfection 1240U Photo in order to add a few
pics to LinuxMedNews.com. Having plunked down my money I thought I
might as well do a side by side test of the scanner on Linux and
Windows. I was prepared to be disappointed in Linux due to previous
experience with sound card and video configuration. Read on to see
what happened.The Epson Perfection 1240U Photo I bought was $217 from
Computers4Sure. It is a USB device which includes a transparency
adapter for scanning negatives and other films. The scans were done
on the same machine dual-booted to Windows 98SE and RedHat Linux
7.1 using the defaults for all software.”
