I would say it a little differently.  Ubuntu is designed for consumer 
level users.  It's goals are to be simple to install and configure -- 
not something that requires a manual, but we try to keep a good one of 
those too.  For instance, the Ubuntu installer doesn't ask if you want 
to install development packages.  We assume that your Grandmother would 
be confused by the question and you can use the application installer.

Some other Ubuntu core values are a predictable release cycle (every 6 
months) and significant community participation (vs. something like RHEL).
