What would be interesting is to count the mageia installations. Create
a GUID for every system at install time, and then later on when
internet
is available, count the machine via this GUID.
WDYT?
No way, that's way to Orwellian, it would give Mageia a really bad
reputation.
A rough count of installs can be done by counting the number of unique IPs
accessing the updates, of course this won't be precise (proxies, etc) but
it should give a rough estimate, there is no need for precise numbers.
I agree, in this case a rough count is good enough.
We all remember the Intel ID system where you could be identified at
chip level through the BIOS. Scary business. A distro could have denied
you installation just based on your chip ID.
