Hey guess what for once I figured out something for myself! I seen a .deb file and didnt know that dat meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_%28file_format%29 So deb is an archive, but I still dunno what Debian is. Is it a distro? UPDATE: Oh wait it says its a distro, but will a deb file work on ubuntu? Thats wierd how the archive type is named after one distro but works for ubuntu..
