Dear Folks,
I recently missed an important non-work appointment. I have large
numbers of appointments at work too. I have decided that my paper
system just has too little storage to put all my appointments, todo
lists and such in, and would like to buy a PDA that will work nicely
with Linux. I

Anything Palm OS based. Pia has a Treo 650, which is a "smart phone" with
Palm OS. I dig it.

I use a Palm Treo 650, after years of using older Palm Pilots - nice.
Only problem I'm having (which I haven't had time to solve) is syncing

My understanding is that OpenVPN doesn't allow you to get a console on

I have installed a machine as Ubuntu i386, but its cpu is actually
amd64. Is there a way to reinstall all the patches as amd64, or do I
have to blow it away and install again from scratch?

I'm using a Palm Z22. I got it for $175 at Dick Smith's. It came with a
clear plastic protective case. I use it with JPilot, which does in Linux
what the Windows software that comes with the Palm does.
I find the arrangement satisfactory.

Hi Gerald
Check the settings in AlsaMixer.
May need to set volume via AlsaMixer and KMix as well as in individual
programs. Its a bit of a balancing act in my experience.
Another thought - Does the laptop allow the sound to be turned on/off by

I've now made 5 or 6 attempts to get Ubuntu Edgy installed on a new

goes reboot it gets to "GRUB " and then nothing.
