I think asking people with lower RAM machines to use the Alternate
Install CD is also fine, as it is no more difficult than using ubiquity,
just less pretty.

I totally agree with you. We cannot expect typical users to do
complicated things. Even asking them to enter commands in a terminal is
too much to expect.
The only problem with using the alternate install, is having to download
yet another CD image, which can take a significant amount of time with
slower Internet speed, and could cost you money if your Internet
provider has a limit on Internet usage, after-which they charge you more.
If there is a way we can get it to work with the live CD (as appears to
be the case in the "zRAM and Live CD" e-mail stream), that would be a
good thing.
It's nice to first try-out the live CD on a new system level to see if
it works on your hardware, and to try-out the new system.
As a case illustrating that point, trying out the live CD on what 2
months ago was my primary machine suggested that I could no longer use
that machine going forward, because its Intel graphics was no longer
supported. It turned out, after installing 13.04, that I could no
longer even watch YouTube videos on it, though it was a fairly modern
machine (a Dell Dimension 1100, 2.5 gigahertz, 1 gigabytes RAM, but no
AGP slot for a NVIDIA card).
