Scanners for linux (slightly OT)
I have an Epson Perfection 1650 which works well with xsane. I was looking into the market for flatbed scanners and found that they seem to have lost their popularity. There don't seem to be any medium-priced scanners (£60-£100) available that work on linux any more. I'm concerned about what I would do for a repla... 1 Feb 2008 11:25

So I use ssh -X otherhost application and all is well. Except that if I type ssh -X otherhost firefox /and/ firefox is running locally, I ... 26 Jan 2008 16:44
