[Gllug] installing dpkg and apt on a non debian system?

[Ian Norton]

Hi, one of my firewalls (once could be called a mandrake 7 system) is getting
on a bit, its as uptodate as i can, (ive compiled and installed crap, and not
used rpm for yonks) however as its my only 'non debian' box i was wondering
about exposing it to the wonders of apt and dpkg, 

yes it could be a whole lot quicker to just bung in the potoato cd and dist
upgrade to sid, but could i just bung in a dpkg system?
