This may need a little more.  Ubuntu, and debian for that matter, have
worked out the most common things that go onto a system and placed that
on one CD.  Once you have installed the CD you can add to you setup
easily to include any of the other programs you need using the Internet.

You can review the tools available to you using a graphical interface
called synaptic (system->administration->synaptic).  There are a huge
number of tools available but the likely hood of you using them is not
that high.
