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
This may have been the first time PalmPower's gone into depth with Linux, but it sure won't be the last. In future articles, we'll go into depth on conduits to Linux applications, and other Linux utilities for your Palm organizer you can download from the Internet.
