These files are <emphasis>Debian packages</emphasis>. The package files associated with Xubuntu have the <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> suffix because of Xubuntu's close relations with the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. You will need administrative privileges to install a <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> file. See <link linkend="administrative"><application>Administrative Tasks</application></link> for more details.

Another type of package is the <emphasis>Red Hat Package Manager</emphasis> (RPM) file. These have the <filename class="extension">.rpm</filename> suffix. It is not recommended to install these on an Xubuntu system. In almost all cases, a native Xubuntu <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> package is available. However, if absolutely necessary, an <filename class="extension">.rpm</filename> file can be converted to a <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> package using the <application>alien</application> application. The resulting <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> file can be installed as described above.
