Hallo, I am forwarding the question below to this list because I am not sure about the answer. Some experts on this list should be able to answer it and inform readers of the GLUG-list in South Africa of whom a very few are debian user's about debian.
Johann ---------- Forwarded message ---------- To: GLUG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Sean Preston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: GLUG: Alien package converter for Debian I know that you can use alien to convert rpm files to deb files. Are there any disadvantages to downloading the rpm files and installing all software this way for Debian or is it better to download the deb file for the program.
