Well we have decided to port everything over to Linux because of our software defined radio. After installing Ubuntu I realized Linux has become a lot easier to install. I have to say I like the Feisty look and feel.
However we are having some issues with our bluetooth dongle. There is an error in the current Broadcom driver. I will be playing with this it seems for a few days.
I will then code up a short prototype providing communication between the PC and the lab's cell phone.
In the meantime Manish is working on the SDR. It looks as if we will have to learn some python programming. I will pick-up a book over the weekend.
