The latest stable version of Kicad is here: ftp://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/
kicad-2009-02-16-final-UBUNTU_8.10.tgz You do not have to build it as it is a binary distribution, installation is simple process, read the install notes, and remember to check the permissions on the bin directory. There are nightly builds of the next release available if you want to look at them - (on a different site somewhere) From comments posted here a while ago the next version will be a beta release fairly soon. For the zones, when you select the zone icon then click on the board you should get a requester box that lists all the nets on your board. Rigth at the top of the list there is <no net> just select that and then create your zone.
