... a few years back, there was discussion on some of the (smaller) Distro sites and on a few of the online magazine sites,
citing it was : 'possible to turn it off, but removing it broke the OS' ...
They referred to it as the 'Amazon Eye'
Since I am not an expert at this sort of thing, I rely on what others say (Mostly, and instinct).
"I really do like the fact that Ubuntu will run an old Dell laptop better than a Windoze system. " (seems to me)...
SO These days, IF a Distro puts a 'Amazon' short-cut on their desktop, I tend to get suspicious.
How often people just click " I Accept" and do not read the pages of fine print disclosures..?
(But, there is no disclosure about the Amazon icon on the desktop) ?
Maybe I am just Paranoid ?
(This is off the thread subject, BUT, I was asked, soo...)
