Q: How can I open .daa in Ubuntu or other Linux distribution?

A: DAA file is PowerISO Direct-Access-Archive and should be opened with PowerISO for Linux or AcetoneISO.

In order to install PowerISO do the following:

cd /usr/src
wget http://poweriso.com/poweriso-1.3.tar.gz
tar -xvzf poweriso-1.3.tar.gz

It comes as poweriso binary so you can execute it without compilation. Now you can convert .daa into .iso:

./poweriso convert your_file.daa -o your_file.iso -ot iso

Coming to AcetoneISO program.

    When I followed your instructions for installing poweriso, this is the response I got in the terminal:

    Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!

    there is also a tool called daa2iso, which is packaged ubuntu -- just install daa2iso from the software centre. it is free software (as opposed to poweriso),

    installing and converting is as easy as
    sudo aptitude install daa2iso
    daa2iso the_input_file.daa new_output_file.iso

    iso files can then be accessed as usual.

    Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    several weeks of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
