| Alien package converter |
Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it. Despite the large version number, alien is still (and will probably always be) rather experimental software. It has been used and tested for over a year now but there are still many bugs and limitations. Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably. In general, if you can't uninstall the package without breaking your system, don't try to replace it with an alien version.
Olá...eu tenho uma Distribuição Linux, daria para usar programas como o StarOffice e programas de outras distribuições diferentes da minha?! Obrigado...
eu já usei 3 versões de linux diferentes e nelas ja instalei alguns tipos de programas de outras versões, e até hoje não tive problemas. Mas para facilitar sua vida, aconcelho a vc um conversor de pacotes como o "Alien". O site é http://kitenet.net/programs/alien/
