Bernd,

I use an out of the box Ubuntu 9.10 and I have it installed automatically. As 
you note, the ps2pdf is a part of the ghostscript package.

Both SuSE and Ubuntu have the package as well as my Asus laptop and eeePC 
laptop.

I would say it's unusual to NOT have this available unless you run a really 
exotic distro...


Regards

Dan, M0DFI
