Well, nevermind. I did some reading on Ubuntu for the G-tablet and apparently the touch screen doesn't work. So you will either have to wait until Ubuntu or a similar linux distro releases a tablet friendly version of their OS or wait until an actual tablet comes out with the same pen to screen effectiveness as a tablet PC. I got my X-60 (not X-40) Lenovo IBM Thinkpad tablet PC for around $300 on Buy.com. Ebay probably has a ton too. I also tried out Fujitsu's Stylistic tablet PC. It's about the same price for an older used one. Even though they are about 5 years old they still run well. Originally, these tablets PCs were over $2000. However, I decided I wanted a tablet pc with a keyboard built in, like a laptop, and got the X-60 instead.
