You're using FC1? I would highly suggest updating to FC3 or IIRC FC4 is out.

The Zire should work. You using gnome-pilot to sync or KPilot? I use KPilot, and the only thing I need to do is ensure that /dev/pilot is linked to /dev/ttyUSB0 and that I have permissions.

I just saw this article the other day...

Linux with palm or on palm?

I think they meant running Linux on the palm... and I dont think FC4 is going to fit!

I noticed a couple of threads on this here, searching for Palm will probably point you in the right direction.

I have small experience on running linux on a Psion (another ARM machine), and it is quite a different experience to the native Os.
