I'll second the recommendation for Vuescan.  I run Fedora Core 3 Linux
with a Minolta Dimage IV scanner controlled via vuescan.  It works as
good if not better than the Minolta software on Windows.  Quick,
robust, with full control over the scanner functions.

Now if only I could get my Canon S900 printer to work, I'd have a
complete digital darkroom setup with no need to run Windows.  (BTW,
I've tried TurboPrint and I cannot get decent results for photo
printing with this printer; I'll probably replace the printer soon.)
