Ubuntu is secure by default, and thus, does not install any listening
services that are unnecessary.  It is possible that someone may find a
vulnerability in SSH that is widely exploitable someday.  However, you
just want to do...

$ sudo aptitude install openssh-server

You can also test this with netcat...

$ nc <your_ip> 22

Mandrake probably had SSH installed by default...
