Hello! I'm interested in using Inkscape with a stylus on a touch screen
and I'm heavily influenced and inspired by articles I've read about
Máirín Duffy's use of a Thinkpad x61 to create illustrations for Red Hat:
http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2009/11/08/fedora-12-rocks-on-tablets/http://mairin.duffy.usesthis.com/
I'm not sure what I would do with Inkscape exactly, maybe make a
webcomic as I hinted about here:

. For now, I just want to doodle a bit.
Anyway, following Máirín's lead, I guess I'm thinking about buying a
Thinkpad X Series Convertible Tablet. As of this writing the model
that's available is the X220, but I'm not sure how well it works with
Linux and Inkscape. Lenovo doesn't ship the device with Linux
pre-installed:

I'm open to other hardware suggestions. On the market right now there's
an HP EliteBook 2760p Tablet PC and a Dell Latitude XT3 Tablet PC as well.
Basicially, I'm looking for something that will run Linux and Inkscape
and let me draw on the screen itself rather than using a Cintiq. Is
this a common hardware setup for Inkscape users? Can anyone recommend
what device I should buy? I've been using Linux on the desktop for five
years (usually something Red Hat-based) but never on a laptop.
Thanks!
Phil
