Ubuntu is whole operating system, and thus is not composed of just source code.
You probably want the source of the kernel, for which just type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.x.xx"
Replace x'es with kernel version you are interested in, typically version of your kernel.
Type "uname -r" to find out, example result:
2.6.35-22-generic
For which you should type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.35"
Or just install linux-source, which always contains the latest source code.
I don't know where it will be installed, sorry :p
For individual programs, look on their webpages.
What else can I help you with?
How do you compile Ubuntu?
Ubuntu comes precompiled. Although you could compile it from source, that would take days, and would be pretty silly. To compile programs on Ubuntu, first "sudo apt-get install build-essential", then run "./configure" and "make" in the directory where you have the source code.

Such software is commonly known as "Open Source" in which the owner/programmer/community of the program/software offers the source code for others to use and alter to suit themselves. Linux is a prime example of open source software. Nowadays, there are many distributions (distos) of the original Unix/Linux source codes, such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint. Arch Linus, Puppy, etc, the list goes on. You could take the source code and alter it to suit whatever you need the altered code/software to do.

What is the unique features of ubuntu?
1) Speed 2) Stability (in some cases). The Linux kernel is very stable (much more than the Windows kernel is). The apps built on top of that are not always as stable as Mac/Windows apps 3) Open Source (this should really be #1). Proprietary code and proprietary standards suck, because nobody can use them to build more powerful things. Companies like Microsoft try and build monopolies by not releasing their source code, which is good in some ways (but mostly bad) 4) Uniqueness of Ubuntu over other distros of Linux? Ubuntu is just a set of open source packages with some nice features on top, which makes the OS feel more polished. Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic, the look and feel / themes, and many more things
In Ubuntu when you install software using 'apt-get' where are the source code files on your hard drive?
apt does not download source files by default, only binary packages. The packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives; the contents are installed in various directories, depending on purpose. You can fetch the source for a package by using the command "apt-get source <packagename>." The source tarball will be downloaded to the current directory.
