there's one GUI app called k-pilot (seems to be the thing to use
of yer a KDE sort of kid) My pilot died a few months ago so I
haven't kept up (no, I'm /not/ bitter ;)...  but have you tried
pilot-link? http://www.pilot.pasta.cs.uit.no/ (that's if yer a CLI
kid)

this site has a few links that might be helpful. There is also a
pilot-unix mailing list, but it tends to be more developer specific.
( i am fairly sure that pilot-link will back up *everything* (or at least
that's how it's worked for me.) 

also a quick search of www.palmgear.com revealed a product called J-Pilot
desc:
Update Description
	 This is a desktop organizer application for the palm pilot
	 that runs under Linux/Unix. It is similar in functionality
	 to the one that 3com distributes for a legacy operating
	 system. RPMs are on the website. Requires GTK+ and
	 pilot-link.
since palmgear's URL's are ugly and nasty looking, I'd sugest
just searching on "unix", you'll find j-pilot and k-pilot
on the first results page. 

hope this helps,
nico
