I would understand there being a difference between the synching of a Palm OS device/ Windows CE/ etc and of a Linux device. What I find incredible is that Evolution being a Linux program doesn't support a Linux PDA. I would think that Evolution should support any Linux PDA BEFORE any Windows/Palm device (unless the Zaurus wasn't available when Ximian's developers were working on a PDA conduit for Evo). > Meanwhile, there are a number of people who've worked out rudimentary > scripts that munge the files between the two and work it all out; you > might try searching Sourceforge and/or Freshmeat for "Zaurus".

However I'm NOT going to give up my Zaurus just because it can't synch! _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
