Hello!
First of all, there is no such thing as "linux 6.1". I assume you mean
"Red Hat Linux 6.1". Red Hat and Debian are distributions that have
different packaging formats. Thus you can't install .deb packages on Red Hat
and .rpm packages on Debian directly. You can use "alien" program, which
converts packages between different formats, but that is not always safe.

BTW: debian-user@lists.debian.org is a better forum to ask such questions
