I'm using the serial cradle to sync. I've tried several different programs for syncing to it, including Jpilot and Kpilot. I haven't had any trouble at all. Once you get the right port specified (for me it was /dev/ttyS0) everything worked fine. I also wanted to use the program Avantgo, from Avantgo.com to get news an other websites. I found a nice program called malsync that was very easy to setup and use. It's available at:

I use gPilotd to sync. I've not had any problems - everything works fine. Memos on the Palm are synced to text files in a directory, everything else syncs with Evolution.

To install files onto the Palm, I set up a script in Nautilus' scripts directory (~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts) - this allows me to right-click on a file and select "Install onto Palm" to install it. The script is as follows:

Quote:
for uri in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS; do
gpilot-install-file -l $uri &
done
If you omit the -l then it will install immediately - the -l instructs it to install the file the next time a sync is performed.
