    Well w/ Debian GNU Linux you use apt-get to install software and apt-get to remove software. Please read this howto.
    Oh and BTW there ain't nothing about Linux that's like wimpdows. (thankfully) You can forget the illogical thinking (like clicking 'start' to turn off your pc! huh?) You can forget hunting all over the web for 'free' applications that only install spyware and you can forget about viruses (well you should still scan for viruses so you don't pass them on to the poor windows users).

    For the most part,

    apt-get install program

    and

    apt-get remove program
    should suit you.
