(Though I will say that little hack where the shell tells you which

Thanks,

Ubuntu and Debian are not compatible.  Once someone wanted to use the
source of Debian to install packages in Ubuntu, but finally his Ubuntu
crashed.  Many people have done this and got the same result.


But aren't the deb files compatible between Debian and Ubuntu? For example, I remember installing several .deb on Debian, and then install them on Ubuntu, and they seemed to work fine on both system (at least, as far as I could tell).

Also, some websites have in the description of the deb file "For use in Debian and Ubuntu" or "For Debian-based systems".

My idea is that the problem isn't on the package itself, but on the dependencies (because I think some packages have different names, so it could create some conflicts).

Or does that only apply to more "high-level" files and wouldn't work with the "low-level" packages (I don't really know if there is high-level and low-level packages...)
