Update, for anyone interested:
Fedora 11 has the linuxwacom 0.8.2.2 driver, which doesn't work with the

The last barrier to ditching MS completely is two-fold.
One - updating my Garmin Nuvi Satnav (the web updatyer apparently is
only for Windows) and secondly back-up and restore of my Nokia mobile
via Nokia PC Suite.
There seem to be one or two sync apps for Nokia - anything to be
recommended?

I've done it myself a couple of months ago. All I had to do was email

I know that google is a good friend, however it is also nice to talk
about such things.
I have a friend of a friend who wants to buy a Ubuntu laptop. She has
already checked out that the 10 inch mini units have displays which
are to small for her elderly eyesight, so the question was passed to
