looking for digital pen/tablet on Debian Squeeze
Dear Debian users,
I will soon be doing online collaboration online and my department has
offered to purchase a digital pen or tablet or (?) to allow me to
hand-write equations and formulas with the device, such that the
equations/formulae would be transferred electronically to, say,
images, PDF, ...?
I know that such devices exist but I do not know much more than what I
could find after some google searches. As I continue looking, here
are my priorities, the most important first.
- MUST be compatible with Debian (can't get advice from colleagues,
they use Windows)
- easier is better
- I do not need a Cadillac or BMW, but something like a Honda/Toyota
might be nice.
In my searches I have heard of a Wacom tablet, and I have seen
assorted other digital pens. I have heard of a Wizardpen Ubuntu
package, and I have gathered that some pens require some tweaking of
xorg.conf.
In short, if someone has a particularly great "success story" that
(s)he would like to share I would be most appreciative to hear about
it.
Thanks, and Debian rocks.
Jay
