Linux-to-Palm Integration?

Posted by Cliff on from the penguins-and-hand-helds dept.

Randseed asks: "I'm a physician and am looking to buy a PDA to make my life a lot easier. My entire computer network is based around Linux. The hospitals' are Windows, but I don't need to explicitly deal with them. This is where my fellow geeks at Slashdot come in. What kind of integration exists for PalmOS PDAs and Linux at this point? What do you guys use? What is the best way to deal with installing software on the Palm from a Linux machine?"

    A lot of MDs however, are seriously addicted to using handhelds. Some even base their script writing (medications, both writing and interactions) on them as well as use them to make patient notes.

    if your interest is productivity between your desktop and your PDA, windows is going to be a better platform. there exists many high-quality productity apps that make your palm and windows work together.

    if your interest is to tinker, well, then ignore this.
