unpack it, then:
./configure
make
checkinstall -D
This makes a .deb file for easy uninstalling later.
Sure, but if you're going to go that route, then you're not really getting the 'advantage' of debian any longer. its just as simple to do that on a redhat box to give me the RPM at the end.
True, but it does allow easy uninstall of packages compiled from source, unlike the rarely implemented 'make remove' or whatever. And the debian archive is available for most uses. I like the dependency checking built in to deb packages.
