Installing software is one of those things that's just completely different in Linux. To install almost any open-source package in Ubuntu, fire up Synaptic from System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager. You can search for whatever you want from there.

If you want to play around with the command line, it's even easier. Open a terminal window (Applications, Accessories, Terminal) and type
Code:
sudo aptitude install name-of-program
Note: you'll want to do a
Code:
sudo aptitude update
first to download the latest package lists. Also, a lot of directions that people post mention apt-get rather than aptitude. Aptitude is better at uninstalling (sudo aptitude remove name-of-program), and pretty much leaves no traces of the software behind.

So this should get you started...
Code:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ufraw gimp-ufraw rawstudio digikam qtpfsgui cinepaint
Raw Therapee's not open-source, so you'll have to download that separately, but there's nothing to install with it, just unzip it and run it from the directory.
