Not really. But nothing's stopping you from taking source tarballs of
programs and building and installing them under your home directory,
just as you did under Red Hat.
(Hint: libraries under Debian are typically broken up into two
packages. libfoo contains the files you need to run programs built
against the library, but you also need libfoo-dev to build programs.
If a configure script is complaining that it can't find a particular
library, you probably need to install the -dev package for it.)
