Currently, the only way to get the Linux binary is to buy from the official web site. Steam and GOG do not have the Linux version.

Valve is working on porting Steam to Linux. When that happens, the developers have said they would try to make the Linux binary available through Steam.

Other forum users have said that the Windows binary works well using WINE under Linux.
