+'''Warning''': The game is currently under heavy development, and many features are currently missing. This release is an '''alpha version''', not a completed playable game - please check our '''[http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/ site]''' and '''[http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=135 forums]''' for future updates!
+
+The Linux packages are new and not well-tested, so please report any problems.
+
+
+[[TOC(inline,noheading)]]
+
+== Ubuntu 10.04 ==
+
+Install from our [https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad PPA]:
+{{{
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install 0ad
+}}}
+(If you get errors about unmet dependencies, check that you have the Universe repository enabled in `/etc/apt/sources.list`.)
+
+Run the game from the command-line as
+{{{
+0ad
+}}}
+or from the application menu item "Games" / "0 A.D."
+
+Alternatively, you can install `0ad` from [http://www.playdeb.net/software/0%20A.D. PlayDeb.net] (see their [http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/all/#how_to_install setup instructions]).
+
+'''Unstable version''': You can try a more up-to-date but less-well-tested version from our [https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad.dev development snapshot PPA], which should be updated each week. Follow the instructions above but use the `ppa:wfg/0ad.dev` repository name.
+
+== Debian 5.0 ==
+
+{{{
+sudo sh -e'echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Debian_5.0/ /" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs-games.list'
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install 0ad
+}}}
+It should prompt "Install these packages without verification?" - these packages are not checked or trusted by Debian. You should not install them in security-critical environments. If you understand and accept the danger of installing unknown software, answer "y".
+
+Run the game from the command-line as
+{{{
+0ad
+}}}
+or from the application menu item "0 A.D."
+
+== OpenSUSE ==
+
+ * Launch YaST.
+ * Select "Software" and "Software Repositories".

+ * Enter one of the following URLs, with name "obs-games":
+  * `http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.3/`
+  * `http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.2/`
+  * `http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.1/`
+ * It should prompt "Import Untrusted GnuPG Key" - these packages are not checked or trusted by OpenSUSE. You should not install them in security-critical environments. If you understand and accept the danger of installing unknown software, accept the import.
+ * Run "Install/Remove Software"
+ * Select "0ad" to install.
+
+Run the game from the command-line as
+{{{
+0ad
+}}}
+or from the application menu item "0 A.D."
+
+== Fedora, Mandriva ==
+
+First run:
+{{{
+su -
+}}}
+Then run one of the following commands:
+ * `curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_13/games.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/obs-games.repo`
+ * `curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_12/games.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/obs-games.repo`
+ * `curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Mandriva_2010.1/games.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/obs-games.repo`
+ * `curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Mandriva_2010/games.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/obs-games.repo`
+ * `curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Mandriva_2009.1/games.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/obs-games.repo`
+Install the package:
+{{{
+yum install 0ad
+}}}
+It should prompt "Importing GPG key 0xC862B42C ... Is this ok?" - these packages are not checked or trusted by Fedora/Mandriva. You should not install them in security-critical environments. If you understand and accept the danger of installing unknown software, answer "y".
+
+Exit from the `su` shell:
+{{{
+exit
+}}}
+Run the game from the command-line as
+{{{
+0ad
+}}}
+or from the application menu item "0 A.D."
+
+'''Unstable version''': Fedora: You can try a more up-to-date but less-well-tested version from a [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=250474 Fedora People repository].
+
+== Gentoo ==
+
+See [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278541 bug containing ebuilds] (both latest release and latest SVN).
+
+== Arch ==
+
+See [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36132 releases] and [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28560 latest SVN] packages.
+
+== Compiling on Linux ==
+
+You need two files:
+ * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz 0ad-unix-build.tar.xz] (3 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz 0ad-unix-build.tar.gz] (5 MB)
+ * [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz 0ad-unix-data.tar.xz] (99 MB) ''or'' [http://releases.wildfiregames.com/0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz 0ad-unix-data.tar.gz] (118 MB)
+The `.xz` files are smaller but may require you to install [http://tukaani.org/xz/ XZ Utils].
+
+Extract both files to the same location:
+{{{
+# Extract .xz version into the current directory:
+tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz
+tar xvJf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz
+
+# Or, if your tar is older than 1.22:
+xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.xz | tar xv
+xz -cd 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.xz | tar xv
+
+# Or, if you downloaded the .gz version:
+tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz
+tar xvzf 0ad-r07970-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz
+}}}
+
+Then follow the '''[BuildInstructions#Unix build instructions]''' using the files from this release instead of downloading from SVN.
