Otherwise, use the 'eye' dropper to select the black and white values

When I use the eyedropper how can I tell I am picking the right black or the right white?
Cause I've read you want to avoid picking one that is clipped in the histogram. is it highlights or shadows or both can be clipped??

BTW: What Distribution(s) of linux do you guys use?
