Yes I've been there and tried that.  The bamboo pad and sylis has 
features that does not yet work in Ubuntu. They  are still working on it 
and i would think they would have it all working  before too long.  I 
wanted the stylus to work in Gimp but there was not some of th painting 
and retouching options I needed.  Presently I am editing pictures for 
video there and then taking them to Painter in xp  and that works well.  
The video I am doing has both Pictures and vidio in it so I am editing 
and building it in Cinelerra.  I expect to be working on this until this 
time next year.  I really don't want to work with something that does 
not quit work yet.   I will switch when the guys on wacom list tell me 
it's all up and running.
