Hi!
If there's no "About ____" in a system menu to tell you, open a Terminal (or console) and enter the command "uname -a".
That should tell you. Presumably it's eeebuntu i.e. an Ubuntu linux system (which use .deb packages).
(If you somehow end up with no idea, you could resort to that generic dynamic 'tarball' (tar.gz) version, but that's means more mucking around for you. Deloptes strangely explained it all in the parent/"more topics" board in responding to a thread titled ~"How to install in Ubuntu".)
Best wishes
