I don't know whether you've had any response to your question. I have 
not tried to sync my Sony Clié with my Wallstreet running Yellow Dog 
Linux, but I did try to sync once with Mandrake on a PC. If I recall 
correctly (you can take it from my hazy recollection, that the 
experiment was not wildly successful), that I got information to flow 
from the Clié to the PC one time, then it never worked again. At that, I 
don't think I got more than a few contacts to sync.

Probably not what you wanted to hear. :-(

One thing that worked much better was to export my contacts from iCal to 
a .vcf file. I transfered that file to my YDL box, changed the line 
endings from Mac to Unix, and was able to import those to the PIM 
(kpilot, I think -- I am not at my Wallstreet right now). I hope that 
works for you.

Best wishes,
Clint
