Hey Cody and Door! I’ve been running Ubuntu 12.10 for a while now and I have learned a great deal about .deb packages. Are there any differences between .deb’s and .rpm’s packages?

Redhat based distros need rpm packages, like redhat, opensuse, fedora yada yada
Debian based distros need deb packages, like debian, ubuntu, linuxmint yadayada
Now you can install a rpm on a debian based system with a piece of software called alien, but it is always suggested to try and find the correct package for your distro
Thanks
