    I was very impressed when I plugged my Beklin Bluetooth adaptor into my Aspire One (running UNR) and it worked first time, without any problems.

    Only issue I've got is it protrudes from the side of the netbook.

    I've been looking at this Bluetooth adaptor http://www.amazon.co.uk/BlueNext-Super-Bluetooth-Adapter-Dongle/dp/B001880DU0/ref=pd_sim_ce_4

    which not only is incredibly small, but also lies flush against the side of the netbook.

    Has anyone used one of these under UNR / Ubuntu?

    Less than five quid, I might just give it a try but thought I'd ask first.

    Dude, I think you are going to be disappointed. Total length is 19mm and the USB plug itself is 15mm. This will still protrude by 4 - 5 mm.

    Which Belkin adapter do you currently have? I have the Mini (F8T016NG) which is fairly unobtrusive:
