New installs of Ubuntu want your private data
New installs of Ubuntu want your private data
#1
The Register: Ubuntu wants to slurp PCs' vital statistics – even location – with new desktop installs - Data harvest notice will be checked by default

Also, software will be installed "to spot trends in package usage and help us to focus on the packages which are of most value to our users" and "to automatically send anonymous crash reports without user interruption."

So... which Linux distros are good nowadays? With this stunt, Ubuntu just took itself off that list, IMHO.
