Linux newbie here:

I am using Xandros, which is based off of debian (i think). I was wondering how to download and install programs. I do not have an internet connection b/c it does not recognize my d-link usb wifi. I downloaded driver loader using windows. I got both the .tar and .deb versions. How do i install it on my machine. PLZ HELP.
