handhelds.org -> you usually end up using a cut down version of Debian with PDAs, but it's not like anyone *really* wants to look at the ugly OS under the sexy PDA environments (GPE, Qtopia, OPIE). ;-) > Lastly, will Windows CE and Redhat sync if the palm remains on the > windows OS and how does one install a "cradle" under Evolution (the > piolt settings" didn't seem to work). Well, fortunately you're not using a "Palm", it's a Windows CE PDA. Palm is a brand name, which makes things somewhat confusing. What you've got uses an Intel XScale CPU, which can run Linux's ARM port. Here's a link: http://tuxmobil.org/pda_linux_xscale.html It's highly unlikely that you'll find anything that usefully syncs Windows CE based PDAs with FOSS applications, although things may have changed since last I looked. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ http://www.xach.com/debian-users-are-beatniks.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
