My wife runs a Wacom tablet under Linux, which isn't the same thing.
However, because I have to ensure it's working for her, I follow the
Linux Wacom mailing list. linuxwacom is a project on SourceForge. As for
running Linux on a Tablet PC, I can't speak for the other hardware
involved, but the tablet interface part does work under Linux
(linuxwacom project). It is more complicated to set up than just using a
Wacom Graphire tablet instead of a mouse on Linux, but there are
instructions regarding how to do it on the linuxwacom documentation pages.
