I'm trying to interest some Windows folks in Linux, and either there are
no decent tools for Linux, or they are called something which keeps
search engines from finding them. I loaded a bunch of "bluez-" stuff,
but found nothing I would show to a user.
They booted a Windows machine, and it popped up a window called
"bluetooth network," which showed a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, and
two cell phones. And the user clicked the mouse and keyboard, clicked
"use it" from the pull down menu, and had changes to bluetooth from wired.
Two questions: first, is there anything like that in Linux, and what's
it called? These people are NOT going to be told there's a command line
interface if I can help it. And second, if the user had clicked "use it"
on a cell phone, what does that mean? Can I send text messages directly
to Bill Gates? Corporate hq in Redmond? God?
I didn't offer to demonstrate bluetooth tools, happily they didn't ask.
