All free scanning programs in Linux are using the SANE backend (its the
only sane way.. I couldn't resist :-p ). If you had quality issues with
scanning in Linux, I would guess its due to sub-optimal scan settings
(DPI?) as I'm scanning a lot in Linux and had no problems - quality is
comparable with results in windows, for the same settings. You might
want to try and duplicate the settings of your windows scan program in
you favorite SANE frontend. (most frontends default to 75 DPI which
produces inferior quality for anything other then low fidelity gray
scale text).

I'm using Kooka from the KDE project which is great though I don't like
their concept of scans gallery. The GNOME scanner is much simpler but
also does a good job and is less of a hassle to run (I have no idea what
its called - its named simple "gnome scan tool").
