Comment 17 for bug 952868

@Gary,

Thanks for your reply, I guess we should find out who exactly agreed on this very issue, so I can talk to him later.

Using navigation sites is still common in China, but it's not wise for a big system vendor to do it, especially when you don't maintain your own navigation site. Looking at these vendors, Microsoft, Redhat, Novell, neither of them did this before, because I believe it's a job for independent software vendors, like Firefox China, or other browser providers and third-party system development groups. Users will think that they are being hijacked when they saw that the default homepage has changed from the international version because such issue happens very commonly on Windows.

It's a good choice to develop a simple configuration wizard or tool to help users configure the system at first run, I believe ubuntu-tweak, which is written and maintained by Ding Zhou, could be a good candidate to consider.
