And there is stuff packaged as Debian packages instead. No big deal ---
the whole advantage of open source is that you can take stuff built
for one distribution and run it on another if you want. The most
important thing is that the actual standards in Linux are defined more
by glibc, gcc, the kernel APIs and the LSB than by any vendor, and
those components are all pretty much standard across all distributions
(the LSB isn't quite universal yet, but things are improving there too).
