wacom tablet help with GIMP in linux?

Hi everyone - I'm a newbie to Linux, and have installed linux mint 9 on my netbook so I now have a dual-boot OS (with Windows 7 Basic).

I also just obtained a wacom intuos 4, and have been reading this website to try and figure out how to get my wacom to have pressure levels and stuff in GIMP. So far I haven't been successful - I haven't even managed to find the x-server file or anything. I'm really really new to this (I've only managed to find the wacom package to install) so if anyone has any ideas on slightly clearer methods or simpler instructions to make the wacom tablet work like a wacom instead of merely a mouse?

I'll be so grateful - I really don't like firing up windows now, it takes too long.
