>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
