Thanks John I will try jpilot on KDE and if that does not work out I will attempt GNOME.

I was wondering if anyone has a preference or what has the best interphase for syncing a Palm Tungsten T to SuSE Linux ? And is the KDE or GNOME envirnoment better for this ? I am a KDE fan, but I will try anything.

I use JPilot to sync my Tungsten T on 8.2, but anything that sits on top of pilot-link would work - you just need to find the solution that meets your needs. If you use KDE, the first point of call is probably KPilot, which I've not used (JPilot is Gtk2 based, although you could also use one of its built-in colour schemes). JPilot has excellent plugin support, including a very good backup plugin and AvantGo and Plucker support. Evolution is the other major contender, but you might find that it's overkill if all you want is to sync your Palm, and it doesn't support Memos. Whatever you choose will work in either KDE or Gnome, but if it's Gtk based it won't look the same as the KDE apps (and vice versa for Qt apps in Gnome, of course). One note of caution - the Tungsten won't sync with anything before 8.2 unless you rebuild the visor module (not hard - just needs a couple of lines adding to include the ID of the new devices). I've also had some problems with stability on my machine, but this might be dodgy hardware.
