there are two options either you apt-get it or compile it from source. 
I did both and both are doing the same.  I would prefer apt-getting it
or you will be downloading 150 mbs of sources - not mentioning doing it
for at least 10 times for some missing required libs

there is a link in ubuntu 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46105&page=1&pp=10 which will
tell you how to install E17 with no hitch.  there are other links that
tells you how to apt-get in ubuntu which uses soulmachine which *I WOULD
NEVER RECOMMEND* or you'll end up with a broken installation like me a
fews ago.

after you have followed the instructions you just download the more
stuff you need from
http://www.get-e.org/Main/Home/index.html to further improve experience.

now E17 only has few eaps that you can use in the menu and IBar so you
need to get it from get-e.org. the crystalclear eap has most of the
stuff you need.  the gant theme for evidence is also brilliant!

after tha your desktop will look something like this:
