Measuring success/failure in the installation

[Martin Pool]

It seems like a great thing to try to measure.

1- I wonder if it would be possible to have just one single checkbox
"contribute anonymous non-personal technical information to help
improve Ubuntu" that covers both the installer and the later use of
other programs.  If there's only one box for all time, the burden may
be less.  It would need a way to get more details and a way to opt
back out.

2- istr sabdfl specifically ruling out any kind of user registration
card; I'm not sure if this would also be covered.

3- Since most machines already poll the archives during or shortly
after installation I'm not sure if the "I'm alive" message would
really be giving away any more information.
