Someone recently posted about Brother having good linux support.
I'm interested in getting a scanner (probably flatbed) for home use, but
I see Brother doesn't offer them, at least in the US (they do have
multifunction machines with inkjet printing).
Anyone had a good experience with a scanner manufacturer?

Greg,
    HP also has good support. The network attached ones are particularly nice. Most support web based scanning (nice if you have people that only scan occasionally, or for visitors), and some have digital filing (scan a document, and it stores it on a CIFS share, with support for multiple users).
