Well, first you'd need a compiler / interpreter:
http://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/article/03-05-064
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9725385854.html
http://www.mono-project.com/Visual_Basic
Assuming that serves your needs, it's in:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/mono-vbnc
(only available for Sid, unfortunately)
You'll probably also want an IDE, which would normally be monodevelop, but
I don't see a version that I think will edit/compile/link/run VB code.
You might try getting MonoDevelop from
http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=2&q=http://monodevelop.com/Download&ei=NDNoSfONK5CCNbuEjZ4H&usg=AFQjCNGLiIw2s jviEa5ZjZVq67LW3IFbzg,
but it's "Alpha" quality and not yet in Debian.
Assuming you can wade through all that, you still won't have anything like
a tutorial or course for learning. However, most Windows-oriented
tutorials or courses (on the Internet or in a book) should be translatable
to those tools. If you have issues, you might try asking on mono-specific
fora.
