Hello Leslie,
Any Linux distro that has alien can convert the rpms. Alien does not recompile or anything, so Slackware, Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, SuSE and so on can all do the task.
Alien is fairly simple to install too, so if you have a linux box, then it should be much of a task.
Failing that, I will happily convert the rpms for you if you like.

If I can just muddy the water,
From the man page for alien on my Kubuntu machine
rpm For converting to and from rpm format the Red Hat Package Manager must be installed. Im presuming DSL must not have the Red Hat Package Manager installed?
