Dotan,

Forget yum in [K]Ubuntu.  As a Debian-based system learn to use apt.  It
is your new friend.  You can use synaptic/kynaptic (I think the latter
is not ready for prime time) or just

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install <package>

First, make sure your sources list is what you want it to be

    * man sources.list, then
    * http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic (I suggest merging this
      generated sources.list with the one you have in /etc/apt/sources.list
