Item works near perfectly with KPilot. What little flaws may be my own ignorance as this is my first day with it.
Now I just need to find out how to transfer files to it.

My experience with this product goes back a ways. It is a good basic PDA and has been superceded by updated models, the E2 and now the E3, so you would most likely pick up a Tungsten E as a used product. Don't pay much for it, especially if it is old, because the battery capacity may be ebbing and hotsyncing can be problematic.
I have used this PDA with multiple computers for at least a couple of years, and have experience with Fedora, CentOS, MEPIS, and Windows XP. Under Linux, using Jpilot, hotsyncing takes finess. In general, you hit the button on the PDA, count to 3, and click the button in Jpilot. Then it may or may not hotsync. If it fails, it is usually due to a bug with udev and the USB ports, and nothing short of rebooting will let you hotsync again. Other problems include incomplete hotsyncs, for example, it might sync only the datebook. I have also experienced loss of data and spontaneous reorganization of the data (for example, all task categories disappear and all tasks end up as "unfiled"). In general it is sometimes a pain, but it works. I might not have experienced all these problems if it was only necessary to sync with a single machine, but I have 3 work computers and two at home.
