        This is the wrong forum for this type of question, but it seems
that you're a little new at this; so I'll help you anyway.  *grin*

        The Debian operating system is not very compatible with RedHat's
distribution of GNU/Linux.  It is highly unlikely that a package from
Debian would mesh with your current system.  I have a small bias, as I
run Debian GNU/Linux myself and would recommend that you install that.
See http://www.debian.org for more information.

        Otherwise, I'd suggest that you go to RedHat's website and
forums and see if you can scrounge up some help there.

Good luck,
        Simon
