Just bought a used iPAQ 4700, and it didn't occur to me until after I paid for it and started playing with it that it might be an issue to get apps on it. 

Currently running Kanotix Linux (about 2 weeks old), on a Thinkpad R40.  Connecting via USB.  According to Synaptic, I have SynCE installed, but bash tells me it can't find synce-serial-config, or synce.  I could care less about actual syncing (email, office files, etc), but there are some programs that I would like to load that would normally need ActiveSync to be installed.  How can I get around this without installing VMWare, XP, and Activesync?
