I seem to remember that there used to be a tool in Linux to convert between decimal and octal and Hex, but I havent stumbled over it in my recent search.

In gnome, click on the Fedora Button => Accessories => Calculator. In the calculator, click on "View" and select 'Scientific Mode'. From a command line, type 'gcalctool'.
Or if you (like me) are a more traditional unix user, you can use the commandline calculator "bc":
