Thinking about getting a Wacom tablet...

Anyone here use one? What do you use it for?
I was looking at the bamboo, but there are a bunch of options. What should I look for?
EDIT: Also, how well (If at all) do they work on Linux?

I have an older one, I used it for graphic design on Photoshop. really a great tool if you're into graphic design at all. I can't imagine you'd have much success getting one to work on Linux due to driver support - but worth a Google. I got a bundle that had a mouse and stylus - and never touched the mouse.

I actually found out about a project that develops drivers for wacom for Linux.

I have an old one, and it's the small size. I don't use it often, but when I do it's great. And like Dominator said, I don't think I've ever used the mouse. And surprisingly, after several years, I still have the pen!

I used one last year in my 2D animation class.
They were the wireless ones that are like $200-$300 I think....
They were real nice though.
