Dumb Questions: Searching archives and OCR question

[Liz Hare]

Hello,

Two newbie questions:

Is there any good OCR software for Linux yet?

I was trying to inform myself about this by searching the archives of this 
list.  I found it kind of hard, because I couldn't find any sort of search 
function on the archives page-- only several ways to download either the 
entire archive.  I still don't have Linux up and Both WIndoze machines at 
home and at work seem to choke on the large file of all the archives when I 
try to download it.  Is there somewhere else I should be looking for 
searchable archives?

Thanks,
