Hmmm... I guess I thought a userfriendly distro should be friendly to the user by providing me info I didn't know I needed to ask up front, and hiding things that are merely technically interesting or edge case. Disk space is probably the former. Asking me to "just google it" is probably not the response Ubuntu/Canonical or any other product would want. BTW, since it crashed on install instead of catching that my partitions weren't large enough, that's a fail. But by merely providing the info on the DL page, they might have saved themselves some credibility loss as a "user friendly" distro. But I do appreciate that you didn't throw a lmgtfy.com link in, which would have been really embarrassing for me.
