Uncompatible Systems

The state of real use of the Sharp Zaurus running Opie and a desktop computer with KDE 3.3 from Debian Testing.

It pretty sucks. Really, it's so hard each time I sit down and think "alright, this is the time I'm going to get the Zaurus to work" I just end up with a small headache from tracking so many back and forth email list conversations on the same subject. So for the record:

There is no simple and fast way to syncronize callendar and addressboox data between Opie 1.0 and KDE 3.3

Here is the closest thing I could find. Even that requires breaking the package manager and installing a .deb with some aggressive switches.

On the upside, I'm realling liking the KDE PIM stuff. Their little summary view is rad and similar to Evolution's and Outlook's. The Zaurus is also very cool standing on it's own. I updated to Openzaurus 3.5.1. Getting network connectivity between the USB cradle and Debian wasn't hard at all.
