Once again: Vuze is built with Java. It will be quite content to run anywhere, so long as JRE can be set up.
If you want to encode mp3's, you'll need to add LAME. Playback is supported out of the box.
And yes, repos are your best friend. This is part of why I suggest Ubuntu as a noob distro. You will very quickly learn to love Synaptic. Probably around the first time you try to compile a piece of software from source.
