Comment 4 for bug 1133777

OpenDNS is a terrible default for ruining a proper not found response and replacing it with spam. Imagine every Mint user thinking their computer is infected by spamware and that Linux runs of spamware. Sometimes programs are configured to respond to a DNS not found. There should at least be a choice to opt-out or preferably an opt-in during the install, without having to manually edit my config files to unmangle them.

On a related note, I don't particularly want my computer running its own nameserver. Some of the computers I'm installing Mint on are already resource starved, and I have a nice router to do all my DNS caching for me. I thought that was fairly normal for routers, and therefore fairly useless for home desktops. However, I have more pressing issues to pursue.
