[TriLUG] Syncing Zaurus with Linux

[David A. Cafaro]

Actually I never got around to trying it, since I run Linux on all my
desktops didn't have a need.  I did notice that there was an option to
setup QT Desktop sync (I think..), so I would guess that you should be
able to sync with Qtopia Desktop on Windows.  Just not positive since I
haven't tried it myself.
