Howto: Convert Redhat and Fedora .rpm files to .deb files in Ubuntu
Just switch from redhat/fedora to Ubuntu and your used to rpm's? Or did you find an rpm that isnt available as a .deb file? I sure have so I thought I would share the easy process of converting rpm to deb, check it out.
To do this, install Alien using:sudo apt-get install alien
And convert using:sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm
To install .deb packages, double click the file and click Install Package or simply:sudo dpkg -i name-of-created-deb-file.deb
Alternatively you can simply install rpm files, This command converts rpm to deb then installs the deb file, after it will delete the temporary .deb createdsudo alien -i name-of-rpm-file.rpm
enjoy
