Well I found tutorial for animated brushes on the GIMP page to give me some idea on how to start, but from there on, it was from trial&error I learned how to make myself simple animated brush.

But it's still the best OS around - at least Windows 7, Vista does suck and XP is out of date.
But Ubuntu sucks more. And more and more with each new release.

And because my tablet works only on Windows. Since I tried to get it working on Ubuntu (and, most obviously, failed), I get kernel panic at boot (it appears I'll have to re-install it), while in VMWare things aren't as good as in real.

May I please refer you to [link]
I don't think Windows is the best OS around at all. That news article will tell you why Ubuntu and Linux are the best. You could try downloading Wine, that should make it work?

Do you suffer from any of the following:
Computer takes forever to start up, by the time it does I've already fallen asleep,
My computer takes a while to open things and perform simple tasks,
It crashes all the time,
Virus, after virus, after virus,
Ongoing costs for repairs and software that you really I really don't have the money for and shouldn't have to pay for,
Seems to have a completely illogical mind of its own,
Throws things in my face that I really don't care about,
Anything else annoying about my computer that you havn't listed.
No, no, yes if you run lousy written programs, bugged games and if you terminate/suspend wrong processes but in general no, no, no - who said you have to pay for software?, lots of GPL and freeware for windows around if you know where to look, no, no, there is typo - it's haven't not havn't and no. And 7 loads pretty fast.

And no, Wine doesn't make tablet drivers work. (Plus, kernel panic at boot. I'll have to reinstall). In fact, there is quite a lot of programs (or games, Prince of Persia) that don't run with Wine as desired. (In fact, uTorrent is the only one I got running under Wine).

(But I would be using Ubuntu for GIMP if tablet would work, since GNOME offers more freedom when comes to window colors.)

I know that some tablets should work on Linux. Because Dreamworks use Linux, and I've seen behind-the-scenes videos of theirs, and they were using tablets LOL. You could just install drivers?

No because there's none. Guess which tablets they're using at Dreamworks? Nothing short of wacom it seems. And wacom is like Apple: At least 50% of the cost is the name. Because only wacoms are 100% working on linux, while with other tablets... it's a fucking lottery.
And how can you install non-existing driver? Well that's question for Chuck Norris, he's the only one who's done that.

Now what google found when I was searching for how-to-fix that.
Wizardpen? Well it's very un-official driver with no guarantee for my tablet to work. Installed still, no effect, neither on 9.10 nor on 10.04.
Editing some file somewhere as they wrote on forum? 9.10: screen turned off and instant logout, 10.04: kernel panic at next boot and on every next boot. 10.10: gave up on updating.
Because trust has drivers for windows only. Then I heared trust = waltop, which should work on linux... well my table doesn't even. Furthest I got was that tablet was detecting left click, but no movement -.-

I hope I'll have more luck with 11.04 (re-install). And I hope that Ubuntu has learned that if I plug in headphones, it turns off speakers built-in my laptop. Hope that remote I got with laptop will work on linux as well.)

(And which moron had moved close, minimize, maximize buttons to the wrong, left side in Ubuntu 10.04 and left them there ever since? Now I have to run gconf-editor with every new installation...)

Hmm no offence or anything but I've never had those problems xD
Either:
a) you have a really, really bad computer
b) you dont really know what youre doing lol
c) you are using horribly outdated software
d) youre using Windows and ages ago you installed an ubuntu theme which you forgot about doing, causing you to accidentally think youre using ubuntu when you arnt hehe

Whats wrong with having them on the left? I could say the same for Windows. Whose stupid idea was it to put the on the right hehe And if you really dont like it, just right click on the top right and choose whichever option suits.

a) 2.2GHz dual core, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320 GB HDD @7200 RPM, ATI Mobility Radeon 4650, 1 GB GDDR3 /up to 2815 MB shared (googled my graphic card) runs Đragon Age II at high settings with no visible lag. December 2009, that was very good laptop of middle class and it can beat newer laptops still.
b) When I was trying to make my tablet work, I didn't know what I was doing so I googled the matter and did as they say. Result as I said.
c) 28.1.2011 and few weeks after that isn't ages ago.
d) You can't have themes for GNOME / KDE on windows by my knowledge. Although I didn't perform detailed google search on istalling GNOME/KDE on windows.

Having those on left is illogical. Since one reads from left to right, having close&other buttons on the right side. Plus Ubuntu had those windows on right side all way before 10.04. And windows are being closed with left click. Fortunately, I have to run gconf-editor just once to solve this. Unfortunately, I have to run it for each new user I create.
