Re: off topic - graphics tablets

I have RSI problems, and my wacom tablet is a great alternative, I find it
much better than the mouse for any photo editing. My last wacom worked in
linux, but I havent tried my current one because im stuck in windows land
right now :P, thinking about jumping back to ubuntu on my desktop though.
