Axim and LindowsOS
Has anyone tried to use their Axim with the Lindows OS? I'd kinda like to try this OS, but only if it will work with my Axim.

Any suggestions?

If its linux (it is, AFAIK) you can use SYNCE and ximian evolution, or use activesync in vmware (havn't tried it in wine)
I just use synce though, does everything I want

Lindows is a Linux distribution designed to appeal to the "reluctant to switch to linux" Windows user.

The link is to an interactive demo of what it's like.

thanks for the feedback, but...
has anyone actually used Lindows as their OS with the Axim? If so what is your impression?

Thanks again.
