debian: what sound drivers ?

Actually, there is an RPM version of apt-get available for Redhat, and
the last time I checked there where alsa drivers available using apt-get
for the stock Redhat kernels.

Sorry I don't have the download link for you for apt-get.

By the way, you should use synaptic (a GUI for apt-get) to find the
package.  MUCH easier than apt-cache.

Do note that apt-get doesn't work 10% as well on Redhat as it does on
Debian (which I am loving now!), but it is still better than pure rpm.
