Depend on what you want. I don't want the graphical annoyances, so I use
pilot-link, which I installed as an RPM on my RH 5.2 box. I guess you'll
find it after a quick Google/ftpsearch-search (my Netscape just crashed
(surprise!) so I don't wanna crawl through my bookmarks now. After all
it's almost 11.30pm, so I'd better get som sleep or something.).

I think there is also a Gnom/KDE-interface to it, but I have now idea
about if it provides any more functionallity.

Does anyone know programs (Gnome/KDE/graphical/non-graphical) that can
communicate with my addressbook or diary on the palm, like I see they
are doing with some windows-apps? (No, I haven't really used both my
'puter and my palm, I've just used my Palm for games, diary and
addresses, and my computer for "the rest".)
