As I see more application/softwares are distributed in rpm format, I would like to know if I should choice from the below two.

Are there any better("Stable/Advanced") tool available for installation/remove/update of rpm format application/softwares under ubuntu..

I don't know where you're looking at but i see more debs than rpms, to convert rpms to debs you have to use alien or Alien-gui, if you want a gui. — Uri Herrera, Sep 02 '11 at 03:34

Just find the deb for that program. There's no reason to use rpm on ubuntu bcz debs are more popular than rpm. And it's unlikely that a linux program provides rpm wihout providing a deb, unless that program is specifically for rpm distros like Fedora ^^.

There's software that provides only debs and tar files, does that mean said software is specifically only for debian-based distros?. – Uri Herrera Sep 02 '11 at 07:31
F-Secure Linux Security provides only RPM. – Dan Dascalescu Dec 30 '12 at 13:35
