The quality can be as good as you are willing to pay for -- dedicated
slide scanners are quite expensive. There are also adapters that allow
you to photograph a slide with a digital camera, but the quality you get
would not be as good as a scanner.
Probably the best scanner software to use is Vuescan, which runs on
Linux but is not free.
Whichever way you do it, the main investment will be time: it's a very
tedious process, involving dust removal, colour correction, cloning out
blemishes...
