To my knowledge, it is not possible to use rpm packages on Debian, or 
use deb packages on non-Debian distributions. I don't know exactly what 
you meant by a "software designed for Redhat", but there may be a 
equivalent for Debian. But Red Hat or Fedora-specific tools aren't 
available usually in other distributions.

Besides, you should give a try of Knoppix which is, as Johannes 
Wiedersich said, an excellent tool to test your laptop's Linux 
abilities, as its hardware detection process is quite powerful and accurate.
