Search, install, remove available packages (preferred method)
sudo aptitude search ABC sudo aptitude install ABC sudo aptitude remove ABC
.deb (you have to take care of dependencies on your own)
sudo dpkg -i ABC.deb
.rpm (requires sudo aptitude install alien)
sudo alien -i *.rpm
.tar.gz (requires sudo aptitude install checkinstall)
tar xzvf ABC.tar.gz cd ABC ./configure make sudo checkinstall
.package, .sh, .bin (Just download and execute)

You can use * to install some ‘package’ with many .deb files.
For example i was download openoffice3 package for my Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex. I choose OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz from openoffice.org. After download finish and after extract that package i get many .deb files. So i used this command :
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Better than install that many .deb files one by one.
Sorry for my “broken” English. I hope you understand what i mean.
msiexec /i for .msi (wine required)
