JPilot seems to be frozen in development since a year ago or so, but
nevertheless in my case with Gutsy and a TREO 650 it synchronizes
without a glitch. 

I synchronize it at work with Fedora Core 5 and at my lapto with
Ubuntu Gutsy. It's sort of funny because in the first box I have to
press the JPilot sync button around 2 or 3 seconds, no more nor less,
or it doesn't syncrhonize, and in my laptop I have to just slightly
click it, otherwise it ignores the press. But at Gutsy it's easier,
the slight press is easier than the 2 or 3 seconds...
