> I originally switched away from Ubuntu because I didn't like the stuff I saw getting pushed to my machine in updates.

What are you referring to?



I saw quite a large quantity of stuff being downloaded that was doing nothing but adding Ubuntu branding to other packages like Firefox, etc. Nothing like the Amazon scandal in terms of how close it is to being 'malicious' - but I still didn't like the attitude / trend it indicated.
