The Linux operating system user base has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last year, due to a combination of factors: the explosion of the open source phenomenon; improvements in Linux that make it more palatable to endusers; and a general antiMicrosoft sentiment that has been sweeping some among the poweruser community. Until recently, however, Linux users have been lacking tools to allow them the same level of Palm device interoperability their Windows and Macintoshusing peers have been enjoying for quite some time. But thats no longer the case. In this article, well help you set up Linux to work with your Palm device, show you how to get HotSync operations working, and explore some tasty desktop solutions. If youre not a Linux user, youll find this article interesting. But you should know that were aiming the article at already established Linux users. If youve got questions, feel free to post them on the PowerBoards. A link to the appropriate discussion board is at the end of the article.
