[Wine] Do I Install Wine in Linux? Which files do i need?

[assassin66]

I am looking to try Wine, whilst using Kubuntu 8.04, and want to use apps from XP.
Will I have to install Kubuntu first, then download Wine, and install when in Kubuntu?
If so, which files do i need to download and install. and if not, do i have to install files in XP at all? If so, which ones?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

John
