You *are* aware of the fact that debian uses .deb files, and not rpm's,
right? Ofcourse, you *can* use rpm's, but if there's a .deb available, by
all means, use it :) Check out www.debian.org/Packages. Now, if you *have*
to use rpm's, take a look at the 'alien' package. It converts a lot of
formats to .deb. But you'll still have to be careful, as rpm's were made
for Redhat.
