Hello, > Does anyone know how I can go abt installing .deb pkgs on other > Linuxes such as Redhat? Others have pointed out how to do via the "convert to RPM" route. If you don't want to do that, or can't, you can do: ar x xyzzy.deb Which will give you two tarballs, one with control information (which you would read and carry out manually) and t'other with the program itself.
