Hello Guys! I was following up the "interesting" conversation about bluetooth compatibility with Ubuntu. May I throw in some of my thoughts here? Thanks. :)
I can see the point that is being made by Matteo and certainly hardware that is not usable with Ubuntu is a major problem as of getting Ubuntu widely used. I would question though if bluetooth would be the most major issue. I personally did not have much problem with that for what I was using it for - sending music over to a bluetooth device. Worked with a few click no manual setting or scripting at all. I can see that this was not the issue for you Matteo so of course I can be wrong and it is perhaps very important issue for many people. If I might throw in a suggestion to solve this matter: there could possible be done a survey for people that are using Ubuntu or trying to use it and see what is the issue - hardware or otherwise - that comes up the most. Getting it answered by a number of people - pro's and and amateurs alike - we could get a clear picture of what actually is the major issue and perhaps resources could be directed towards that. I do not think Matteo that you would be an "####hole" even though I do not know you so I might be wrong again. :P And yes, absolutely no swearing on these lists so calm the f****ck down! (Sorry. LOL Couldn't miss that.)
