I didn't realize the Dash was "phoning home," but here's more about that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(user_interface)#12.10_Amazon_controversy http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/10/13/145217/stallman-on-unity-dash-canonical-will-have-to-give-users-data-to-governments I've been using Ubuntu for a few years and am reasonably happy with it. Some of the recent changes were not good. I think I would like to not use Unity. I'm sure it isn't hard to install other window managers and use them. Is there a good source for info on how to do that? In Solaris about 12 years ago I had it running OpenWindows, KDE or Gnome, depending on which I selected. That must be easily doable in Linux, too.
