I use J-Pilot for all my gui palm needs.  It has a decent interface that 
clones the Palm desktop fairly well.  It's a bit uglier, but 
functionally similar.

  For installation and more complex needs I suggest you pick up 
pilot-tools, a command line suite that'll do most anything you like. 
I've written a few scripts to automagically gather all the TV or weather 
listings into a *.pdb .  These use pilot-tools.

If you like Nutscrape Navigator, then just go directly to Mozilla, do 
not pass go, do not collect 200 packages.  Good look and feel, 
completely integrated mail, news, browser environment, and totally 
standards compliant. This is good for new users of Linux as it removes 
the need to set up sendmail/exim/postfix/etc for mail purposes.  Very 
big app, so not for the low resource box. Provides all the usual, 
simple, filtering.
