Q. What program do you use to convert a RedHat Package (RPM) to Debian?

i voted that too.... altho i must admit someone helped me:icon_roll :p

hope its the right answer

[death_knight]

just thik about it. really.. its kinda intutiive. not that i'm guessing. but an alien package to a distro.. get it.. you must use alien to convert it to a locally understood package.

[ramesh]

alien is the correct answer. The five of you that answered all got it correct. I will give the next question tonight. :)

Any benefit to doing the exam 101 & 102

I should've done it years ago, dont know what happened. Was there a cost involved?

[death_knight]

yes there's a cost and its really not much if your a part of the local lug i think you get a discount
