What ever scanner is supported by scanimage, the epsons work well. If you plug your scanner in, reboot with the scanner on, and when linux comes back up run the command: scanimage -L (as root, e.g. with sudo) It should list your scanner, note the reboot is just for the sake of ease, so you don't have to worry about restarting relevant init scripts etc.

Don't think the patch is required, and tesseract can probably even be installed with apt... Or just find a stable revision from svn if the latest doesn't compile. Also think Wilim is changing the front end to use another ocr engine... HTH, Dan.
