USB only. That's the only way a Tungsten T5 comes. Overall, Ubuntu handles
USB devices better. The USB port doesn't come and go with the connect. It's
a MAKEDEV type device all the time. I get permission problems and had to
write a script that sets the owner every few seconds. That didn't work more
than once in about 15-25 tries. I changed to a hardware update so when a USB
device is attached, the permissions are changed to my user and that doesn't
work more than once every 5-10 times. I ran the script with that and didn't
see any improvement.

This has been a while and I gave up, syncing to Win2000 (VMWare guest) only.
I'm actually thinking of installing Ubuntu on VMWare and seeing how that
works.
