For palm sync, jpilot is what I use and it works great. Back end is pilot-link so if the client has the newest palms there may be a little config, but not much. The jpilot list is pretty active and the folks there are responsive.
For quickbooks, gnucash? Kapital isn't there yet... He could also use VMware for those windows apps and you wouldn't need an extra machine. Well worth it IMHO; I have to use it for work because they use outlook, for EVERYTHING... But linux is what I run for everything else...

QuickBooks -> (keep a Win machine handy???) Palm sync -> ??? Is Evolution really a good replacement for Outlook? What do I do about syncing the Palm?
