I have been playing with ubuntu+x41 tablet for a few days now.  Ubuntu 9.10
worked out of the box after doing post install update including suspend and
hibernate.  The only thing I needed to configure was the finger print
reader.  Compiz works just fine, in normal mode.  The only compiz feature I
need is expose and that works fine.  Battery life appears to be the same as
in windows.  I currently have the machine dual booted with Windows Tablet
and ubuntu 9.10 so that I can go back and forth and compare.  I must say
that I have not found a replacement for wjournal or onenote.  I prefer
wjournal over onenote.  Xournal is the closest I have found to wjournal.
Handwritting in Xournal under windows is terrible.  Xournal seems to work
better in Linux.  The problem I am having with Xournal is It cannot lasso
what I write and copy/resize/etc...  Lasso has to be my favorite feature in
wjournal.

Still plugin away, will say more later.
