Thanks. Installed SOGo via aptitude from the Debian archives. Surprisingly, ownCloud in not in the Debian archives, so downloaded the .tar.bz2 file and the .deb for the client. I'll start playing with it to get up to speed on the new way of doing things. I presume this will only work through a wifi connection (not the usb cable), so I'll also have to set up a wifi router. Or maybe this should be the impetus to finally get the proper hardware and install freedombox (which includes ownCloud, or will - haven't looked at it in a while). http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org One project begets another, which begets another, etc... > For KDE... > http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/user_manual/pim/sync_kde.html This is encouraging.

When/if I can get replicant/CM/andriod 4 installed I'll have to see about other ways to sync the other stuff. At least adb push/pull the relevant files, once I find them, should work. Anyway, thanks a lot for the info. Augustine _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
