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.

It depends on what metapackage you've installed TeXLive with. There's basic ones, regular ones and full ones. I believe that the installation of texlive-full does pull XeLaTeX it in.
If you need the command-line tool xelatex, you'll just need to install texlive-xetex.
To teach fishing, rather than feed you fish:
Go to
packages.ubuntu.comScroll down to Search the contents of packages
select packages that contain files whose names end with the keyword
fill in
xelatexHit search.
Enjoy the results, e.g.
/usr/bin/xelatex texlive-xetex
