It depends on who or what this Linux World is.

Because they don't support foreign packages. And neither does Debian.

You are doing something wrong (aside from mixing distros). In order
to validate the package with "Xandros Network" (not a very inspired name
for a piece of software) you need to tell it about the proper
repository, update your database about packages and let it download
and install the package. And even if you do manage to get that package
installed on Xandros, it still might break your whole system. You're
really asking for trouble.
