HiI am running Mint UMA on an old HP Laptop which does not have Bluetooth capability installed.
My question is can I run ANY Bluetooth dongle available on the market provided I install BLUEZ and BLUEMAN as support firmware.
It seems that the cheaper units for sale only support Windows as plug and play my dated equipment doesn't warrant spending a load of dosh.
Advice please.

No. Google for reviews/specs stating linux compatibility on any bluetooth device you buy.
I recently bought this:

worked 'out of the box'.
There was a review on it saying 'works on linux', they were right
