The debian's use apt-get to install programs such as
command line:
sudo apt-get install package
your computer will download and install the software you requested and all other dependent software it needs

Ubuntu has this wrapped in a nice GUI

Do you have Ubuntu running on something ?

I managed to get Ventrilo working under Wine, but it was a pain and was buggy as hell.

I've been using it nearly full-time for approximately two months now. I still have a lot of games that aren't supported in Wine or Cedega, so I've got a WinXP partition around for gaming.

It also keeps me on task...somewhat.
