Hello Luc :)

You may be right : kubuntu is perhaps the best choice.
However, there is probably no big difference between installation 
processes with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
Most of us use Kdevelop to edit/compile Yade, and Kdevelop is supposed 
to be part of Kubuntu environment, but you can as well install Kdevelop 
in Ubuntu, so...
If you have no particular reason to choose Ubuntu (the "stuff you don't 
need" is not a problem in any distribution, if you don't need something 
you will not install it...), choose Kubuntu. It will probably have, by 
default, more of the libraries needed by Yade. But if you use Ubuntu, 
those libraries should be easy to install using your package manager 
("synaptic" in Ubuntu) or with aptitude.
