I strongly recommend installing TeX Live using its own installer and not as Linux package of your Linux distribution.
To do so following the instructions at http://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html.
Basically get the latest installer from http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz, unzip it and run the included install-tl script.
You can then select the collections/packages you want to install using a ASCII-based GUI.
If you don't mind the ~2.8GB HD space I would recommend you to install the full TeX Live to avoid any problems with missing package or fonts in future documents.
You can then update your TeX Live installation using tlmgr update --self --all (normally as root, e.g. via sudo). This is not possible if you use the TeX Live packages from Debian or Ubuntu. They do not ship tlmgr and do not update their packages very often. AFAIK Ubuntu still ships TeX Live 2009.
3
But there are also some downsides to manual installation: it might do things differently and/or not in a way expected by the OS, and you have to remember to periodically run the update command. Also if you tell the OS's package manager to install any package dependent on TeX, the system version of TeX will still be pulled.

@Andrey: Indeed, stopping the OS from installing its outdated packages is a pain. You can install first all packages from the OS and then install TeXLive manually to avoid most of the pain.
