Zaurus Sync Software (Finally) Available for Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 9, 2002 @03:06AM from the sync-this dept.

Tony Green writes "One of the biggest gripes of early Zaurus users (with much justification) was the fact that despite the fact that the Zaurus itself runs Linux, the only synchronisation software made available was for Windoze machines. Trolltech have now released a desktop synch program (albeit a beta at the moment) for Linux, so at last Linux users can start doing what the rest could already do. Information at The Zaurus Software Index or Trolltech One word of warning though, the MySQL installation on my Zaurus became unusable after using this; I haven't worked out exactly what it did yet, but I ended up having to completely re-initialise the Zaurus and then restore everything from my backups. So not recommended if you're running MySQL (unless you're feeling brave...)"

I don't know what this is about, Qtopia Desktop for Linux has been out for quite some time now.

Note, to use the docking crade you have to modify the kernel for USB-ethernet support.
Not so anymore from what I've heard! I modded my kernel long ago so I don't know if these work but there are now RedHat RPMs:
Get 'em here
