    Can anyone suggest free gui pim (calendar/agenda, contacts...) software for the AAO? Really great would be if they would be installable on linpus without a lot of dependencies (and preferabally lightweight).

    Thanks in advance...

    You may be looking for something more sophisticated, but I use the thunderbird email client, with its address book, and you could add the integrated calendar lightning (I use the standalone one, sunbird, but they're basically the same). That gives you a pretty reasonable set of features.

    If you want really light weight and/or if you are going to sync with a Palm Pilot, the best one is Jpilot:

    http://www.jpilot.org/

    Other choices that are more heavy weight are Kontact:

    http://kontact.kde.org/

    and Evolution:

    http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/

    Although both can be synced with a Pilot via Kpilot and Gnome-pilot respectively, the syncs are not as good as Jpilot. They should all be in the Fedora 8 repo.

    I personally use org-mode:

    http://orgmode.org/

    However, it is not for everyone. This is actually the major reason I got my AA0.

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions, JPilot looks quite good, so i'll give that a try...

    The emacs plugin may be a little too die-hard for me, but interesting project nonetheless ;-)
