[KLUG Members] Zaurus - Now who's oversight was this?

[Tim Gray]

I have a Zaurus for my from work now.  I love it.  On the first day I 
installed a terminal, openssh, fbvncserver and nmap... so this thing is well 
on it's way to being really useful as tool for when I'm away from my desk.

BUT...  can you believe this:  There is currently no post-beta software for 
synching the Zaurus with Linux!  It runs linux, but the synching software 
that ships with it is for Windows.  <scratches head>

Now, trolltech HAS released a beta of the Qtopia software for synching 
semi-recently, and it will be nice once it's working and happy.  Other people 
have written scripts and figured out ways to kludge together scripts and 
whatnot that will sync data between KDE apps and the Zaurus, but like I said, 
they are kludges...

That's kind of a big ball to drop, don't you think?
