I have an iPAQ (bought off eBay) that runs a version of Linux, of
course! Familiar 0.8.4, with GPE. So I use gpe-calendar and gpe-todo
from the iPAQ. You can run them on the desktop machine and sync, but
I find it easier to just plug in the iPAQ and run the software on my
desktop screen:
  $ ssh -XY ipaq gpe-calendar
I have an iPAQ 3955. But if you buy any later model, it should come with
built-in bluetooth, which makes networking and using external keyboards
etc. much easier.
