In the extremely unlikely event that you’re using Ubuntu and you can’t find the package you need in any of the vast Ubuntu repositories, there is a solution. Before you break out your source code compilation hat (unless you just want to), check Getdeb. They have a lot of the new software and games that didn’t make it into the standard repositories. They have both Gnome and KDE packages, as well as many popular 3D games.

To top it all off, they also release newer versions of packages that will not get updated in the official repositories until the next release.
