I'm perplexed about what exactly you are saying. If you mean RAM then
I agree, but if you mean hard disk space you are in conflict with the
official Ubuntu documentation, which states, (at
https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/i386/minimum-hardware-reqts.htm\
l)

No desktop 64 megabytes [minimal RAM] 256 megabytes [recommended
RAM] 1 gigabyte [hard drive space]
With Desktop 64 megabytes [minimal RAM] 512 megabytes [recommended
RAM] 5 gigabytes [hard drive space]

I don't imagine many people want to run without a graphical desktop
even though it can be done. Is there anyone here who runs CLI only?
