[TriLUG] speaking of pda's

[Michael Thompson]

Sharp seems to market the Zaurus as a simple PDA, even though us Linux 
geeks know it is much more!  :)  All the docs that came with my 5600 
only cover connectivity with Mac/Win.  Currently, I use rsync to back up 
my Z but haven't tried any syncing with evo yet.

I'm using The Kompany rom on my Z, which appears to be supported 
(http://multisync.sourceforge.net/devices.shtml#opie) but I can't say 
first hand how well it works.

Besides the syncing, the Z has been awesome though, ssh/screen/irssi/etc 
is especially cool when I'm sitting on the sofa with the wireless CF 
card going...
