Hi,

While detailing the pain I endured trying to drive a Mac Mini from the
keyboard, I pointed out that a major show-stopper was my need to use a
KVM combined with the Mac's inability to map a UK PC105 keyboard
properly.

It's just occurred to me that I might be able to take the KVM out of the
loop ... given that most Linux systems will happily support Mac
keyboards ... and given that I own a wireless Mac keyboard.

Could anyone with experience of using Bluetooth input devices with Linux
tell me if it's practical? ... and what sort of kit I need, i.e. is it
just a question of buying one of those cheap USB Bluetooth dongles?

Dave
