Dick,
If you look at the sane-project.org Web site you'll see that the Epson
Perfection 600 is supported "good." It uses the umax back end:
Perfection 600 SCSI Good OK, SCSI-ID=EPSON Perfection600
umax (1.0-41) sane-umax
The 610 is completely supported.
Regardless, if you have a current version of Xsane installed your scanner
should work regardless of distribution or version.
