debian

[D. Hageman]

If you want to use a .deb on a RPM based system you first have to run it 
through alien.  My personnal recommendation is to find the same package 
that you want to install as a .rpm and go from there.  

FYI if you didn't know ... .deb is the package format popularized by 
Debian.
