So we're looking for better ways to find out exactly who is out there
and what Fedora is being used for. I've been compiling thoughts and
ideas on a metrics site. Please take a look and comment. What are
you, the community, most comfortable with? Where's the line where
you'd check the check box to not participate?

I like the idea of a voluntary registration. Granted, it is less
inclusive, but any form of of MANDATORY anything is going to be met with
resistance. I think we would have good results if we let everyone know
that it is a good way to combat M$ FUD campaigns. If we can show that
Linux is installed on 37% (or what ever the percentage really is) of the
computers - M$'s claims that they have 92% of the market will look
REALLY bogus!
