Or have the browser home page open up to a live CD page hosted by PG,
have PgAdmin check for an update (ask the user) or report anonymous
usage stats.  Not much different, IMHO.  In fact, its a better
metric...since it'll tell us who booted the CD and actually did
something with it.

In any case, permissive or not, it's not a difficult task to accomplish
that returns some meaningful results.
