GetDeb 是一个专门为当前 Ubuntu 发行版提供最新开源或免费软件的非官方项目。在推出 Ubuntu 源之前，GetDeb 专门为 Ubuntu/Debian 系统打包，用户可以在其网站上下载最新发布的软件、或软件的最新版本（测试版、开发版）的 .deb 包，在这些软件进入 Ubuntu 官方软件仓库之前，用户可以先在这里找到并下载这些软件的最新的 .deb 包，免去自己编译安装或者打包的烦恼。而现在，为了使在 Ubuntu 下安装软件更加方便，GetDeb 项目推出了 Ubuntu 9.10 软件仓库。
在 Ubuntu 9.10 上启用 GetDeb 软件仓库的基本步骤如下：
1）用 Gedit 打开 /etc/apt/sources.list 文件
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
然后加入下列这一行：
deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu karmic-getdeb apps
