While RPM was originally part of the RedHat Linux distribution, RPM viewers / extractors are now available for most platforms including Windows. A search on 'RPM Viewer' or 'RPM Windows' will come up with more than a few options, such as IZArc, 7-Zip and BitZipper.
Well, RPM is the RedHat Package Manager and RedHat is a distribution of Linux. To make use of .rpm packages under Windoze one would need to run some type of virtualization (for example, VMware). RedHat Linux can then be installed as a virtual system and the .rpm package can be installed within it. The .rpm package format is somewhat of a defacto standard and many different flavors of Linux can deal with it.

How do you install Wine in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Internet Explorer is a product of MIcrosoft and designed and written for Microsoft Windows. Linux can not install Windows executables. There is however a program called Wine which stands for Wine is not an emulator that can be used as a compatibility layer and allow Internet Explorer to be installed in RedHat. There is a commercially available version of Wine called CrossOver, which is a bit more streamlined and also has support. Another option would be a virtual machine such as Oracle VirtualBox which actually runs a session of Windows inside RedHat. Hope this helps! Kernellinux

The programs necessary to install such a package are not found on an Ubuntu system. Most programs that could be found in an RPM package are also available either in a .deb package (which you can install on Ubuntu) or in Ubuntu's repository, where it can be installed via Synaptic.If you absolutely need to, you can convert RPM packages by using a program called "alien." This converts the RPM package into its .deb equivalent. Note that this doesn't always work, and the installation could break your system in rare circumstances. To convert the RPM package and install the program, use the following commands:sudo alien -k rpmpackage.rpmsudo dpkg -i debpackage.deb
