Total Linux noob seeks help!

GHS_Target · 12-04-2010, 05:06 PM

Hello! I am recovering from a total hard drive virus that killed my puter. I wiped and installed Linux and went looking for a game like this. Nice forums, btw.

I am running a 32 bit machine with plenty of memory and oomph to run the game. My problem is getting the downloaded game to do anything besides sit in the downloads folder. I have read other forum entries and when I ran the command line I got i686.

I feel that I am missing a step and am willing to face the "WHAT A NOOB" comments to get the game to work.

I have played PW in the past but it will not run on Linux plus I was tired of the Far East themes.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.
