    Alright, not sure if this belongs in gaming or in Linux, but I think the problem is more of a fundamental problem with me not knowing how to fully use Ubuntu yet.

    I am attempting to install and play Bungie's Marathon games on my ThinkPad (Ubuntu 7.04) as per their own directions @ http://source.bungie.org/get/

    "Download a Scenario and Aleph One for your OS. Drag Aleph One into the scenario folder."

    I have done exactly so on my Win XP machine; the games work just fine. However, once I have followed said instructions in Ubuntu I run into a dead end.

    I have been at this for a couple of weeks and quite frankly, I just don't get it. Help, please?

    Yeah, this probably won't work in Linux. It's probably just for Windows.
