I'm using a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet with Ubuntu 8.04 and Gimp 2.4.6 and
it works quite well.  I had to uncomment a few lines in xorg.conf and
restart X to get it working properly, and the tablet needs to be
plugged in before X starts, but aside from that it's been no trouble
at all.  It also worked properly with Ubuntu 7.04 and the 2.2 and 2.3
versions of GIMP.

Happy hunting!
