Other than Moon (who is biased) is suggesting, there is more than one
Linux port of Descent 2 available: You can try D2X-XL
(www.descent2.de), which offers a lot of new features and upgraded
graphics (and to be honest, leaves D2X-Rebirth behind it in the dust
in every respect - regardless of what some people are claiming), but
can also be made to look exactly like the old 3dfx version of the
original game (which implies that D2X-Rebirth is not necessarily
closer to the original game - another biased claim). There are very
precise installation instructions available on the web site, and you
are welcome to register in the forum and ask questions there. A D2X-XL
user even has D2X-XL running very well under WINE with a 3 monitor
setup (!) - which speaks volumes about the improvement D2X-XL
constitutes over every other Descent 2 version around. D2X-XL even
allows to play Descent 1 missions with it (the only limitation here is
that it is using the Descent 2 AI).
