you need to find the repositories for your distro..
that shouldn't be hard.

As far as I know, no version updates will be available once ubuntu is final. Only bugfixes and security updates are available in the Ubuntu repositories. If you wat to have the latest software try Dapper Drake Flight 3 from here - but be warned, it's alpha and may/will brake!
