As a new-to-Linux person, you are looking to do what most folks who have been
using Linux for years would not attempt. I have been around
Linux for a number of years, and I have on occasion tried the "cross-
install" routine, and had no luck with it. I won't tell you it can't be done,
but I would strongly recommend you to find a distro that has the
programs you want to use, or find a program in Debian that will do
*almost* what you want to do, and put up with it.
However: a program called alien (I don't know if that is available on Debian,
or that's something else you have to go round the corner to
get) is supposed to make RPMs available to deb systems, and vice versa.
Here's an URL that says it worked for him:
http://www.everyjoe.com/2005/11/02/technology/howto-install-an-rpm-package-on-a-debian-box/
(Found by Google.) What's likely to happen is that there will be dependencies
(libraries, usually) that are not found on Debian. Then, if you're
really determined, you can go look for them and install them, perhaps
also with alien. You can see what a can of worms you are opening up!
BTW: The Linux version of FlashPlayer is not going to be updated by Adobe,
but some distros still seem to have it available--PCLinuxOs, I believe is
one. I think most distros will have Java. Obviously RedHat has these
programs you are looking for--why not download a live DVD and try it out?
Whatever you decide, good luck!
