Thanks folks for the replies and info. After some more research and trying out some Distos and programs on the tc4400 i guess I am going to (man, I hate to say this ...) :-[ continue running Windows on this box. I will of course run Linux on all my other computers, but even the most tablet friendly Distros are currently limited by handwriting recognition software. The best seems to be cellwriter; there were others under development in the past but they seem to have been abandoned, some others I could not successfully install.
As much as I hate to say it the MS handwriting recognition out of the box, even of rather sloppy cursive is pretty amazing, even without "training" the software. I guess they have been at it a long time and thrown a lot of $ at it, none the less, impressive.
On one hand I can understand this; to a degree stylus/handwriting recognition was a fad of sorts and seemed to be fizzling. On the other hand after looking at handwriting recognition in a new sense (MS "Ink") there again seem to be a lot of potential:

I hope if this is the case that Linux doesn't miss the boat on it.
