Scanning Slides and Negatives

[accessys at smart.net]

I have been using Vuescan (www.hamrick.com) a low cost scanning software 
that has worked fine in Linux, the C8100 is listed as a supported scanner.

I personally find this software while not FOSS it is a low cost scanning 
software that has supported Linux since day one.
