Wonderful. I guess I'll now have to find a way to regenerate this UUID or to spoof it every time Fedora tries to phone home.
If you want to count users, ask for permission during firstboot. If that's too much to ask, then I'll be in the market for a new OS. Maybe I'll finally go back to my first love: FreeBSD.

- Proven 8y agoWhy not simply add a firewall rule to your kickstart file, or after installation and before you connect it to network, if you install manually. Or switch to a less commercialized distribution. Ironically Fedora is "free" but it's only if you think the info they collect is worthless.
