>This HOWTO describes the use of Palm OS devices with Linux. Most
of the advice is applicable to any version of the Palm PDA, and also to
other devices that use the Palm OS, such as the Handspring Visor and Sony Clie.
Many of the tools described here will also work with other types of Unix, such
as FreeBSD.</P

>NOTE: </EM
> this is a work in progress. There's a
lot more I want to write, and I've noted areas that need work (look for
TODO in the text). This version is very much an early draft to get the
ball rolling. I would especially appreciate feedback from users of other
combinations of PDA and Linux distribution (I currently use an m505 with
Mandrake 8.1).</P
