Better supported, but as George says still problematic. Unless you have money 
to burn, don't bother. Use JPilot to keep your data safe, or use the 
following magic recipe:

1) In a konsole window, type

	sleep 3 ; kpilotDaemon<enter>

2) Count one-mississippi two-mississippi
3) Hit the HotSync button

Timing is everything here.

Just for keeping backups of your data you can use the snapshot-tarball and 
use KPilotTest, which is compiled but not installed:

	kpilot-only-2.2/kpilot/kpilot/kpilotTest --backup --port /dev/ttyUSB0

should do the trick.
