You will need to install bluez from the repository for Bluetooth Support http://www.bluez.org

I would say it would be a compatible BT USB Dongle, considering it states OS X support (OS X is based of BSD-Unix)

If the bt dongle is ok... does any bt keyboard will connect to it??

thanks again!!

Piggy-backing here ... I have just acquired a Trust 18187 4.0 Bluetooth USB dongle, installed various bluetooth packages (bluetooth, bluez-utils, blueman) on Raspbian and can successfully use the blueman scan to 'see' the presence of my iNoPhone 4S. I also have a Think Outside Stowaway bluetooth keyboard, which I have paired to my iNoPhone so I can write my blog on the move. However, my Pi can not see the Stowaway, either whilst it is paired to the iNoPhone or with the iNoPhone switched off.

Any thoughts as to why this might be and how I might resolve it (i.e. get the Stowaway working as a bluetooth keyboard on the Pi)?

Ok, the good news: it now works! Not sure what I did wrong the first time, but restarting the bluetooth daemon and the keyboard and scanning with the bluetooth manager GUI as I belted dementedly on CTRL-Fn-Fn got it recognised.
