Synaptic is your friend.
Coming from FreeBSD, as I did, you're going to be extremely irked for
a while, as I was, by everything that's *not* included in the distro.
Ubuntu's built on Debian, and Debian is an extremely stripped-down
distro. C Compiler? not included. Basic networking utilities? not
included. Etcetera, etcetera.
The bright side is that package management is done quite well; you'll
just need to get into one of the package managers - and I do like
the Synaptic GUI the best - browse through it and check off a ton of
stuff, and then twiddle your thumbs for a while as it all downloads and
installs.
