porting Red Hat 7.3 to Debian

#1 Post by Tom Boyd »

I am kind of new to this. I have invented along with my family a 3D mechanism and have been using Windows XP Pro with our code in Visual Basic. Being that Microsoft keeps wanting money for their license, we need to change. We have converted Visual Basic to Red Hat 7.3 but need to convert to Debian. Is this something I can do? Is their a program out there that does this? Once again, I work more in development of the 3D technology then in the software. I just need some help and would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks.

If you created an rpm package of your Visual Basic port to Red Hat, you have a chance to convert it into a Debian package by using alien command (alien --to-deb <package name>)
