I managed to get pilotlink to do most of my Palm Tungsten E although a
few apps won't sync, and when trying to do a complete restore some
things don't make it leaving it a bit weird to work with.

The lack of specs on the palm and it's sync protocol and hence the lousy
support in linux is the main reason I really haven't looked at my Palm
in the last 6 months or so.  It's just too difficult to keep synced if
you don't run windows.
