PocketPC and Linux

by Wesley Allen

Hi all, I've got the 3800 iPAQ and installing linux on it is still pretty much "you will break your handheld". I've also got some windows software that keeps me locked in for now until companies release linux binaries or I can figure out how to run a palm emulator on my iPAQ when I get linux on it. Until that time, has ANYONE figured out how to hack activesync connectivity with Linux? It really ticks me off that M$ got rid of the ability to do a direct cable connection in PocketPC, while my hardware sweet and I love the responsiveness of my iPAQ, I almost wish I had gotten a palm or a clie. Any Ideas? Wes

Ahh, OpenOffice, I've got a friend who may bring his cpu there and he'll love it. What distro are you installing? Should I bring my Mandrake 8.1?

You can get an Agenda VR3 on ebay for reasonably cheap. But I'd wait for the zarus, it looks sweet!

The latest Jpilot and my IIIx are working pretty well, it actually hot syncs stuff nicely, and let's me edit my address book more easily as well... That's just my recent experience with RH 7.2 + updates system. John

PDA's and Linux

by Simoncini, Matthew

Hello all, I'm in the market for a decent PDA (Palm III died) and was wondering what everyone's experience has been with PDA's and synching with a Linux machine. I run Red Hat 7.1, not sure what kernel, but wanted to make sure the PDA and associated desktop software I bought would run under Linux. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Cool, I grabbed OpenOffice build 641c.

Tim, Star Office 6.0 isn't downloadable right now, but Open Office is. And the latest build of Open Office is actually further along in development than the 6.0 beta; I'd include that on any "killer apps" cd for sure.
