The upcoming Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring release will boast the easiest ever support for synchronizing with Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices in any distribution. The adventurous can already try out the support in the current 2008 Spring pre-release repositories, by following the instructions here. Mandriva has uploaded a video demonstrating how easy it is to synchronize with a Windows Mobile 6 device right out of the box with Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Support is included for synchronizing with both KDE (KDE PIM) and GNOME (Evolution). Similarly easy synchronization is also possible with many Nokia phones and with Blackberry devices.

schmeggma: all you need is a file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.synce.service with these contents:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.synce.SyncEngine
Exec=/usr/bin/sync-engine
that's it. Now if something tries to access org.synce.SyncEngine and nothing is providing it, d-bus will run sync-engine. d-bus activation is great.
For the modules, I know there are unofficial packages of the fixed modules for some distributions; you might want to ask in #synce on Freenode if there are any for yours, that might save you the trouble of manual rebuilds (assuming the packages are updated swiftly when the distro's kernel is updated).
