I changed my desktop to Ubuntu last week and I'm quite happy with it so far. I used a script from the Ubuntu forums [ubuntuforums.org] which setup things like universe for me.
It sounds like you are trying to use packages from Debian which will probably have different dependancies. I've found generally there are bundles which install all the needed packages for a certain task (e.g. build-essential, ssh-server, etc).
