Ubuntu doesn't come with sshd by default
by I've been stuck to Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) as my preferred Linux distro for over 2 years with a positive experience while testing dozens of different distros all that time. Today is one of those days and I decided to switch to Ubuntu (just to see what's out of the Matrix)
My first suprise with Ubuntu is that didn't come with the SSH server service installed, essential for me since I transfer files using SFTP.
If you want that service look for a package called openssh-server in the Synaptic manager or just type in the terminal*:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
*Remember: You can open a terminal by pressing Alt+F2, typing gnome-terminal and pressing enter
It's been just one day and I am missing my beloved 'urpmi'...
There is no sshd server in ubuntu... unless you install the openssh-server package

I'm experimenting with Egdy now, but my next installation on another computer is for sure Spring Free 2007.1
But still - some things are better in one distro, and some in the other.
Ubuntu Desktop comes with ssh client, while Server adds the openssh service. Kinda makes sense to me.
See for example:

Good luck :)
What you mean to say is Ubuntu doesn't come with sshd installed by default. If all you have to do is type one line to get sshd installed and operating, I wouldn't call that a problem, but a feature. (I.e. you SHOULD have to intentionally install sshd on a desktop system, for security reasons.)
