Interesting.  It's nice to see that sort of info in the manual.

I sometimes play angband and vms-empire; both of these are 
quasi-text-based games similar to nethack in terms of their user 
interface.

It wasn't clear to me, from looking at the site, that it will run natively 
on Linux.  If it doesn't, then it might work using wine.  No one has tried 
to play accessible games using wine that I know of, though.  It would be 
interesting to see the result if someone tries it, but I would only 
suggest it after becoming familiar with Linux and its filesystem and 
editing configuration files.

linuxcommand.org would be a good site to look at; it gives a good 
introduction to the command line and the filesystem.
