No, there isn't.However, most of the major Linux distros (Opensuse, Ubuntu) have tablet support included.
In addition to having tablet support (hardware), you may find the following software necessary for easy usage:
1. Cellwriter - recognizes your handwriting & converts to text
2. Xournal - A notebook for writing with a great user interface
PS: Depending on the type of tablet you have (Wacom / Graphite / etc) you may have to install some packages additionally. More info on these can be found in the respective distro's community forums.
No Linux distribution is currently made for any PalmPilot model.
This depends on the distribution. Some Linux distributions tend to use older versions of software for long term support purposes. Generaly, though, for a modern Linux distribution just about any computer made in the last 10 years works just fine.
Desmond Tutu has not made any contribution directly to the Ubuntu Linux distribution. He is the author of a book detailing the philosophy of Ubuntu, a South African term meaning humanity towards others. The Ubuntu Linux distribution aims to further such a philosophy using Linux.
Linux is just the kernel. If you combine utilities that were made as a result of the GNU project with the linux kernel, you get GNU Linux, which is considered as a complete operating system
They can't make profit from their products because 80% of the Linux distributions don't sell it. Linux distribution take volunteers that want to do it because they love programming and problem solving, and the volunteers don't do it for cash, they do it for fun, but although some money is made by donations and ads on their site.
While Red Hat uses strict trademark rules to restrict free re-distribution of their officially supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat freely provides the source code for the distribution's software even for software where this is not mandatory. As a result, several distributors have created re-branded and/or community-supported re-builds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that can legally be made available, without official support from Red Hat. CentOS,Scientific Linux, and Oracle Linux aim to provide 100% compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
SUSE Enterprise is made to run on servers(which use different platforms to organize the web page) while SUSE Linux professional is desktop Linux with special mods and cool platforms for high tech work in offices and studios.

The accronym "GNU" stands for Gnu Is not Unix. Technically speaking, it's "GNU/Linux" because Linux is the kernel, not the whole thing, we just shorten it to Linux (I do this myself, but I do know that Linux is just the kernel). It is made up of the Linux kernel and several GNU programs (try typing a basic command into a terminal with --help, chances are you could easily find one that says GNU somewhere at the bottom).

The updates are provided by the distribution maintainers. You can usually update through your distro's package manager (if it has one). Major updates may be made only between releases and you may have to completely reinstall to update.
