[NTLUG:Discuss] PDAs & Linux

[kbrannen@gte.net]

I think I'm finally about to take the plunge and buy a PDA.  My requirements 
are few, but one of them is being able to sync to Linux. :-)  Note, that's 
sync to, not run (I need it to run PalmOS).  It's primary purpose will be to 
hold ebooks:  text, PDF, HTML; both technical and pleasure.  I think I've 
narrowed the choices down to the Palm m500 and one of the Sony Clie` (I'm 
leaning this way because of the scroll wheel); though I'm open others if 
offered good reasons. ;-)

So I'm looking for any tips, advice (positive & negative), and any other 
contributions you might have on this; e.g. what is the best sync'ing software 
on Linux? :-)  As long as it has a USB interface, will I be able to connect it 
and talk to it to download files?  Any particular models not to buy because 
there are no drivers for Linux? etc.

TIA,
Kevin
