OT: linux-friendly _slide_ scanner

[Itay Furman]

Hi,

My appologies for posting off-topic.

I am interested in buying a slide scanner.  If I could control 
this device from linux (Fedora :-) instead of quitting linux and 
visiting windows, this would be a _major_ advantage.
  A print scanner that supports scanning slides/negatives with 
high quality will also be a good option.

Anyone has done this before and would care sharing his/hers 
experience?

More generally, what should I look for when searching for a linux 
compatible scanner (prints or slides)?

 	Thanks in advance
 	Itay
