Which Wacom?

[pops1983]

I'm considering getting one of these, but the thing is, I'm running Ubuntu. Does anyone know if there are any serious issues with wacom and linux? I've done a wee bit of research, and it is supported, I'd just like to know if anyone else has ever used a tablet of any kind with linux and what they thought of it.

Hi guys i need some advice on which is a good one to start with
While looking for a new scanner noticed there was a couple of tablets which were not much steeper, but looking back on this thread i gather 'Trust' aren't that much cop? (Nice big drawing area tho)
John Caliber here suggested Intuos, is this the same as Bamboo?
Or should i just get another scanner?

Cheers

Babmoo are a good cheap Wacom.. Great place to start

Intuous 3 or above even better but more expensive

Personally I wouldn't buy any brand except for Wacom* - they are the market leaders, and with good reason.

*Intuos and Bamboo are both types of Wacom tablet.

Pen has no touch support and supports fewer pressure levels than Pen & Touch. Bamboo One has a similarly limited support for pressure (512 levels) and also lacks control buttons.

Pen & Touch has touch support (like a laptop trackpad), although it's awful in use, but has support for more pressure levels (1024).

If you've a very limited budget, get the Pen from Amazon (£40), otherwise go for the Pen and Touch or the 'Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch - Small'.
