 Hello again,

 First of all, thanks to everyone's advice and opinions (and silliness)
 on netbooks.

 Next, are most USB Bluetooth dongles Linux-friendly, or do I have to
 be careful about which one I choose?

I think they all should work. There are some very small ones on
trademe for a few $ only, like this
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Components/Other/auction-282948569.htm

They are good because they remove the difficulty of having something
huge out the usb port which can break the device (or worse the usb
port/motherboard).

Trouble is they are very easy to lose/misplace when not plugged in! I
have bought 2 but can only find one.


 Thanks,
 Aidan Gauland

No you don't. Also,last time I bought one, I got half a dozen, as
they're small and easy to lose. So far, I've lost... none. 

So if you're after one, let me know. I only payed a few US dollars for
them.

Sorry!  I meant to send that OFF-LIST.  I'm not sure how this happened. :/

Very sorry,
