For scanners check: http://panda.mostang.com/sane/. For sound cards check: http://www.alsa-project.org/~goemon/ and http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html. The best install is to do a fresh format/full install. You have the choice during install to start X on boot or not. You can choose from a plethora of editors during install.
