So I got a brand new (read: cheap and disposeable) computer that I can play around. So I tried installed Linux Mint on it. It worked, only to realize that many games that ran on windows cannot be played on linux. So I gotta ask, seeing that there's no zdoom or gzdoom on the software repository, how do I play doom source port on linux?

Nice... I'll try the debian package first... not too sure about compiling though...
