Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Dec 09

Well, their website seems to mention it'll work on Fedora 6.

That seems strange to me as Fedora is now at (11?) and is
usually (don't quote me) "backwards-compatible".

But anyway, you may want to try downloading the rpm file and
then using 'alien' via the command-line to convert it to a .deb file.

alien, is not typically installed by default, so you may want
to first check to see if you have it. At a terminal, you can type
which alien

and if it spits nothing back at you, then you don't have it in your system
and you can use synaptic GUI or the command-line installer
sudo apt-get install alien

Once you do have alien...

How to use it?

Convert from RPM to DEB (alien -d)

sudo alien -d your-rpm-fileName
