There was a time in the last ten years or so when RHEL was a better source for some obscure firmware not available directly from Ubuntu but that is no longer the case. Whatever you are trying to run I suggest you look for an Ubuntu based alternative. It's not difficult to install RPMs manually nowadays and using alien itself is generally unnecessary as many RPMs come with documentation on how to install with Debian commands. Anything other than firmware will not come with update/security/support from Ubuntu and synaptic may or may not correct dependencies. It can be hit or miss and uninstalls can give you problems unless you are familiar with the Debian syntax and way of doing things. If you know Debian go ahead, otherwise there is a good chance you will mess up your LL system even with alien.
