Re: barcode scanner
If you've got the USB version then it'll probably show up as a Human Interface Device (HID). It'll be treated as a keyboard and just insert keystrokes into the console.
Plug it in and run lsusb -vv. Leave the console logged in and scan a barcode - you'll probably get the code.
Keyboard widget version is unlikely to work. RS232 version would require a bit more work to open the serial device and read the incoming data, which may or may not be packetised.
