Hi, in case people on this list are interested I thought I'd share two
blog posts about Ubuntu 12.10 on EFF's blog.

Last week I attacked Ubuntu for showing Amazon-affiliated ads to people
and leaking their search terms without giving users a chance to opt-in:

And today I wrote about how Ubuntu 12.10 includes Full Disk Encryption
options in the GUI installer thanks to user requests, and how this
relates to the resurgence of crypto-related activism:
