   I recently installed Kubuntu, and want to check if I can replace my Windows   
   OS with this one.   
   At first sight, it looks good, HW detection seems to be very good when   
   compared to Redhat some years back.   
      
   When I connect the PDA via USB,(MIO 168 with internal GPS), it is recognised   
   dmesg gives following result:   
   [17182120.280000] drivers/usb/serial/ipaq.c: USB PocketPC PDA driver v0.5   
   [17182120.280000] ipaq 3-1:1.0: PocketPC PDA converter detected   
   [17182120.284000] usb 3-1: PocketPC PDA converter now attached to ttyUSB0   
   [17182120.284000] usbcore: registered new driver ipaq   
      
   My question is now, how can I sync with Kontact ?   
      
   After installing Kitchensync, there is an additional Sychronisation icon in   
   Kontact, but it does not seem to work.   
      
   When I run Kitchensync separately, I get following reply   
   20:36:03: Ready.   
   20:36:09: Sync Action triggered   
   20:36:09: Performing Sync   
   20:36:09: Sync done   
   but nothing happens.   
   I think I need to tell Kitchensync to connect to the PDA, but I don't know   
   how.  I don't find a user manual for Kitchensync neither.   
      
   As I'm fairly new to working with Linux GUI applications, I could use a   
   little help with this.   
   I know the basic commandline things from working on a stripped Redhat Linux   
   as OS on the Alcatel OXE PBX & unified communications systems, but no   
   experience with Linux on the desktop yet
