There are lot of programs available in Ubuntu many of them functioning in a similar manner. The default installed programs should get you going for most things. The repositories are divided up depending on the content this is explained here http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components . Also if all programs were provided it would mean that the CD would end up being several Dvds as the repositories are about 28gb. Therefore you would have to download allot more before you can install ubuntu.
