Using your Palm device with Linux (continued)

Additionally, KPilot includes a graphical program installation utility and a conduit for synchronizing with POP3 email. KPilot also can backup your system like pilot-xfer and saves your data in a subdirectory of your user directory, /.kde/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup/Firstname Lastname/.

Wrap-up
