It means that you have to go to jail for a minimum of 8 years,but won't have to be in jail more than 20 years. There are things that can change this, parole can make it shorter, while committing a crime in jail (like murder) can lengthen it.

What is the punishment for dealing 20 ecstasy pills?

Depends on the state. In Indiana, you will be charged with either a B felony or an A felony. An A felony requires a mandatory 20 year sentence (this can be served as probation, house arrest, but it must be 20 years) and is punishable by up to 50 years. If is your first criminal offense, you have a completely clean record, and you are able to afford a good attorney, you have the possibility of avoiding jail / prison time, but there is still a good chance that you would have some type of jail sentence imposed.
