I need to know the version of any piece of software included with Ubuntu and the ones that provides support before downloading and installing Ubuntu. I need to know what are the versions of all the packages included with Ubuntu. Is there such list?

You can get a list of all the packages included in the disk images (iso or dmg) just reading the .manifest
files, for example:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.manifest
This is the file with the manifest with all the packages and versions for precise
the ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64
image. For all the packages included in the release version you can use:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/
replacing saucy for the codename of the release. Of course, there's also the -updates
repositories, but the main one should be sufficient.
