Hey David, if you haven't already I'd ask some questions on the pilot-link.org
mailing list. Am pretty sure the Sony Clie NR70V & the Palm Zire should work, no
matter what Linux distribution you use. The only people who have problems
synching normally are the ones with the newer devices. As long as your kernel is
recent, and pilot-link is near to the latest, everything should be cool. I've
been using Palms with Linux since about 1999/2000 & pilot-link is supurb.
