WM5 with Linux

[Guest oharab]

Has anyone managed to get their Hermes (or any other WM5 setup) to sync from Linux? I don't mean run linux on the phone, but sync their contacts and tasks with a desktop running SuSE or Ubuntu.

I've nearly got there, but not been able to get that final step.

Any thoughts or tutorials gratefully accepted.

which lists the Hermes as having been succesfully connected but unknown whether it has been sync'd. I just put Ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop at work (even picked up the wireless instantly!) so am interested in getting this working myself.
