I've used Wubi on my Gateway tablet, and the howtos look pretty straightforward in setting up the wacom driver, but for now if I really need it in class I will have to use XP.  I'm thinking it's a keeper though.  I thought I would have to wait until I had more time to mess with it, school and all, but it took less than 30 minutes.

Great success!
I have Ubuntu on my tablet (an old acer) and it was simply a matter of 
installing the wacom package to get it to work. I don't think any 
configuration is really necessary.
