Rubberman	Posted : Thu, 15 January 2009 16:07:48 Subject : installing software Are these Windows or Linux games? If Windows executables then you will need to install Wine, and they may or may not run (probably about a 60% chance that they will). As for the palm software, I think there may be an emulation environment for garnet software development that will run on Linux, but I haven't personally tried it. You can sync your palm with your Linux contact list, calendar, and such. I haven't used it to install new software on my palm however (I have a Palm-TX that is about 3 years old).
