I have been running Fedora on a Sony 800MHz Duron Laptop with pretty good success. I have managed to get issues such as printing to a Windows printer, sharing files from Windows boxes to my laptop (going the other way is a work in progress). What has stumped me so far is getting my Palm m500 to synch to Evolution using a USB cradle. I have tried using ColdSync, MultiSync and gnome-pilot without success. The problem appears to be that the laptop does not recognize that the Palm exists. I have tried everything it seems except mouth to disc resuscitation so I am asking has anyone encountered a similar situation and successfully overcome it. I am still somewhat a newbie at Linux but am willing to listen and learn. Thank you in advance for your help. Charles
