You need UT on CD.
The installer for the Linux version is free.
Basically the Linux installer is just a replacement for the installer
on the CD which is a windows one.
It also includes a few additional files in it.

The whole process is mount UT cd.
Run installer as root.
Play UT :)

There is the GOTY edition of UT which has the Linux installer on it,
but unfortunately we do not get that version in South Africa ;(
