Sony Clie & SuSE

I recently picked up a Sony Clie (PEG-SJ30) and have been able to get it to synch with the Linux install. Now I'm wondering... The Clie has a few features that are supported through applications other than a standard synch. (Loading pictures/movies/Word and Excell Documents all need to go through a "pre-processer" program, to load 'em. The software included only works on Windoze systems, and I couldn't get them to install in Linux via wine. Has anyone had success where I've failed? Or does anyone know linux-native programs that do these things? Thanks in advance! Krikket
