just installed texlive 2012 on my ubuntu and I have no xelatex.
There is one in Mac distribution. Is Ubuntu's "special"? I'll be glad for help.

does pull XeLaTeX it in.
If you need the command-line tool xelatex
, you'll just need to install texlive-xetex
.

Go to packages.ubuntu.com
Scroll down to Search the contents of packages
select packages that contain files whose names end with the keyword
fill in xelatex
Hit search.
Enjoy the results, e.g.
/usr/bin/xelatex texlive-xetex
