One word of warning is to be careful of the wacom bamboo, we've had a number of users reporting issues with that tablet.
btw, I wouldnt say its off topic at all, very relevant question.

Cheers

I bought an Intuos 3 6x8" recently, using it with Inkscape in Ubuntu
linux 7.10.  It seems to work well, although oddly enough I think it
would work better with an Nvidia graphics card than my ATI graphics
card.  At least if you have multiple monitors.  ATI's driver support
for multiple monitors seems to be less refined than Nvidia's (having
used Nvidia cards on other dual monitor linux machines).  Of course
it's an old ATI card (9800pro), maybe they do better on new ones.  The
issue is mapping screen geometry, which is important for the graphics
tablet.
