The game cd includes a linux installer and binaries. To get it to count
as a "linux sales" you should buy it from one of the online linux game
retailers like Tux Games.

News about new patches are often listed on linuxgames.com an
happypenguin.org.

Note that at this time you pretty much need to have either an NVidia
GeForce 2, 3, or 4 to play it under linux, as the game requires a few bits
of hardware functionality that the opensource DRI drivers can't yet expose
due to unresolved licensing conditions (primarily S3TC. Brian Paul, the
MESA guy, is currently trying to get VIA's attention on this one, but
since there's been absolutely no news after a brief announcement a few
weeks ago, it's possible that tungsten graphics or someone else may be in
the early stages of negotiating something. Or not.).
