Sync my x50v w Linux?

K... I have finally had enough of Windows, but that's another thread. Can I sync my x50v with my Linux box? And can I use the Ax to access samba shares?

Cheers

Yes and probably, but let me tell you something about Linux - it's really friggin' difficult to use with peripheral devices. Before you even THINK about reformatting or anything, get a copy of Knoppix and try with that.

I agree with Dag. Unless u dont have a how-to or are an über expert, u'll probably not get it to work =(

Activesync does not work in Linux.

1. Sync with Linux, I know nothing that'll do it but would like to.
2. Resco file explorer will allow you to connevt to the Samba shares.

I agree on the Windows.

I use linux, but to sync I boot into windows via vmware. SynCE never worked for me.

I tried building synce on a BSD box with no success.. but for linux they do have rpm downloads, so you may have better luck.

Thanks for the info. I've chosen S.U.S.E. Pro 9.2 as my distro. If I happen to figure this out, I'll post for evryone's nfo.
