This idea was mentioned a few years as a way to improve advocacy  
statistics. Something short and sweet, with a one or two line  
explanation encouraging people to install the BSDStats system. If it  
were a yes/no option similar to the "Would you like to install Linux  
Compatibility" then it would be a no brainer.  Honestly this seems  
relatively unobtrusive and quite logical.
