Linux for Tablet PC.

Anyone know where I can find a version of Linux that supports Tablet PC functions? I'm looking to make my http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?seg=HHO&coid=-29174&sel=0&rcid=-26367&ccid=1291021 into a dual-boot system. XP tablet, which comes with it, is nice but doesn't have a lot of the special features I need as a programmer/hacker. I can install *nix anyway, but I don't want to give up the tablet functionality in the process because it comes in handy so often. For that matter, can anyone point to tablet programs for *nix?

Not that it really applies to your situation (since you already have the hardware), but http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000897061188/.

Ok, maybe I should re-emphasize. I'M NOT LOOKING TO BUY A NEW LAPTOP. I just want a *nix version with tablet support that I can install on my existing one.

Sorry. In a word, no, you probably won't find a Linux that would support all the features of your Tablet PC out of the box. Here are accounts of people installing Linux on Toshibas. There aren't any accounts of the Satellite R15 among them. You'll note that the stories are often characterized by a lot of effort, and by never getting everything working. http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/toshiba.html http://www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html http://tuxmobil.org/toshiba.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsToshiba
