I'm using Ubuntu too - and JOSM works very nicely.
JOSM isn't in the Ubuntu repositories - but it shouldn't be difficult to
install. You need to make sure you've got Java installed (it's in the
repositories as sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre).
Then download JOSM from here:
http://www.eigenheimstrasse.de/josm/josm-latest.jar
Then to run it you just need to go to open a terminal window, change to the
folder where you saved josm-latest.jar and type "java -jar josm-latest.jar"
That should get you up and running. Have a look at the WIki page for more
details of how to use it: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM
Good luck!
Olly
