 I have Ubuntu 7.04 running on a P3 800Mhz, 512 Ram box at
work for 'playing around with'.  I have VMware and an XP VM running on
it, which has 160Mb Ram.
I installed Outlook and ActiveSync but could not get my Orange C500
Smartphone to connect to it.  Even with VMware running Ubuntu is still
responsive.  Next week I'll see if I can work out why the USB is not being
recongnised in the VM, I ran out of time yesterdy to figure it out.
