Yes, I have a Treo 600 and it works fine with my Debian install -- it
syncs to jPilot, and the pilot-link package provides a bunch of command
line tools. 

Also worth noting is that it has an SD card slot, so with a card reader
I can mount SD cards as regular vfat volumes. This allows me, for
example, to keep working with regular text files instead of the hassle
of dealing with Palm's .pdb format.
