What do you synchronize with a desktop?
Anything you want, if you install an appropriate sync provider in Android 2.1
or newer. There is at least one commercial implementation of this, although
not focused on Linux at all.[1]
So, you could either write some FOSS code to implement a sync provider for the
desktop, find one that someone else wrote, or ...
Android is really designed to have all your stuff in the cloud. Google
Calendars, Gmail etc. Anything else is going to be working against the
grain. It might work but it'll be hard work.
... just sync with something in the cloud, like Google, Facebook, MySpace[2],
and perhaps soon Twitter.

[2] IIRC, they have a contact provider or something, but I didn't really
check since I don't use this service myself.
