Running on the Openmoko Freerunner would probably be easiest - as it is the  
most open. You can install Debian, which gets you SANE out of the box, as  
armel is a supported Debian architecture:  
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsane.

So no compilation required. Then you've just got to find something to plug  
into it. You'd probably also need a powered USB hub, as I'm not sure how  
much current a USB scanner would pull.

Regards

Jeff
