I think Ubuntu made the decision to not include them, since most 
Desktop users are not programmers :-)  There is documentation about 
this on wiki.ubuntu.com and various other places.  If you hit F1 at 
your Desktop, a help window will come up where you can get lots of 
information, even if you don't have an Internet connection.  Coming 
from Red Hat, you probably wouldn't know all this, so no worries.  But 
now you do!  And knowing is half the battle ... or something like that 
:-P
