ogg radios for rhythmbox

[Paul van Leeuwen]

When Ubuntu registrates the packages installed within a day after
installation (anonymous of course :)) it can produce a list of
'popular basics'
Directly after installing or running the live-cd the user can be
presented to a list of apt-get references to this top-25.
This is pure statistical. No persuasion from the side of Ubuntu.
How can Ubuntu be held responsible?

Greetings,
Paul
