If online articles and blogs are any indication of things, the number of Linux users migrating to, and satisfied with, Ubuntu GNU/Linux seems to be staggering. Given that, it was only a matter of time before a capable company had the resources to offer accessible, affordable Linux desktops and notebooks that delivered the way that Apple's products have. Colorado-based System76 sent us their Darter Ultra for review, and proved that there is an OEM hardware/software combination capable of being the primary PC for the general public.

> [Bluetooth] an actual Ubuntu bug!
Which I filed 2+ months ago. ;-)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/9...
The "sudo hciconfig hci0 inqmode 0" has the same effect as the also suggested "hciconfig hci0 reset". Apparently a driver fix was suggested towards the end of the bug report which I tried, and it worked. Not sure if it was committed for inclusion in Gutsy. It is a bit of a downer that Ubuntu shipped with this bug because it affected a lot of Bluetooth chips. That's one minus point for both Ubuntu and System76 for shipping with a bug that completely crippled a major hardware feature.
