I tried all the 4 versions of Linux given on the Digit-Aug. issue. Only in DSL I am being able to surf net because it can be run from the window itself, and my net connection depends on GPRS-Bluetooth-Mobile. Linspire and LG3D does not recognise the bluetooth device and NimbleX recognises the device but I am not able to use it as the dial-up box is not opening.
If I am to try a full installed Ubuntu/Linspire how to install the driver in Linux system(presently only Window version is available).
Anybody please help.

Ubuntu has some kickass blue-tooth support, am sure you won't face any problem once all the required packages have been installed.

However, as you say you *need* BT to access net, I can see that one as a problem. Maybe you ought to go for a DVD-Install than CD so that you include the BT apps in the default installation.

I mean, install from a fully blown DVD media. (Usually Fedora and Suse come that way)
