Hi all,
I recently switched to Linux on my laptop and went looking for a way to use Internet Sharing with Linux. I installed Ubuntu, which works pretty good. I also installed VirtualBox w/WinXP as a guest OS and installed ActiveSync and was able to get the phone connection working fine.
At any rate, I found a pretty good tutorial on Ubuntu Forums for using Internet Sharing via Bluetooth. I haven't tried using the USB cable as yet but for now Bluetooth works great for me. I can use the cable within the virtual OS.
Here it is:

Hope it comes in handy for some of you.
