You could easily whip up a conduit to sync to multiple applications if
you wanted to, but remember there are two ways:
1. Grab the data as it comes across the Palm/port and move it to where
the applications expect it (custom conduit required)
2. Sync multiple times, once for each conduit (not desirable, battery
life, time suffers)
3. Some sort of export/import conduit, with a smart script on the
other side (desktop side) to import the data exported from the Palm
at sync time into your apps of choice.
This begs the question about one uniform data storage format for the
Palm on the desktop side, which all applications can use to read/write to,
independant of their own propeietary local storage or manipulation formats.

From Windows to linux? Hrm, never tried that one in an automated
fashion. You could easily set up 'pilot-xfer -s' in a script looping, and just
do a network hotsync from your Windows PC to that linux machine, I've done
something similar to that before. You could also just munch some of the code
in pilot-link and roll about 20 lines of daemon code into it to respawn it,
and it would work that way also.
I think the latest cvs version of gnome-pilot can handle this sort of
daemon/respawn for network hotsync these days. I've never personally tried it
though.
I started a HOWTO on network hotsync awhile back, got distracted a
bit, but I'll definately include this in the final version of it.
