I opted for the medium one largely for the OLED labels (which of course I 
can't use in Linux yet) and the additional buttons that are provided.  
Finding space on my desk has been a challenge.

Getting the Linux drivers working didn't take very long once I stopped 
trying to configure options that didn't make sense - like the "mode" for 
the pad buttons being "absolute" or "relative" - no meaning, and X didn't 
like me setting that option at all.

It was interesting to me as well that it sent through actual keystrokes 
for the button press - CTL+ALT+SHIFT+F1 dumped me to tty1.  Caught me by 
surprise because I was expecting Firefox to launch. ;-)

I'm no artist, just been spending time playing in the Gimp and Inkscape.  
And Xournal, which is a pretty neat app for just doodling.  I may even 
take my whiteboard down now. :-)  (But I doubt it)
