Apple's Macbook Air started the multi-touch revolution in touch-pads on portable computers. Whilst you may think that it is no big deal, I'd say try it first before you dismiss it. Simply said, it is *awesome*!

The next question is - how do you add it to your Linux portable computer? Well, do not fret because there is a way to provide limited multi-touch support. The Digital Wanderlust Blog outlines the simple steps necessary to enable this feature. Don't expect too much, though, since there is no support for pinch-zooming yet. :)
