If you want to try it, first you need to install some compatible Doom source port. The best, and most advanced one out there is called Zandronum. You can find instructions on how to install it on Trisquel here.

Then you'll need some Doom IWAD file(s), which you can copy either from your instance Doom (if you have one), or you can just use the shareware one from here. I does not tested any of the unofficial ones, like FreeDoom (available right from Trisquel repositories), but maybe they will work (with the Brutal Doom mod of course).

Here are the MD5 sums of the official IWADs, all patched to latest versions:

Last, but not least, you need to download Brutal Doom, which is basically a gore mod for the classic Doom, released back in 1993. You can find it here. You should also download some more enhancement packs (look for question numbered by six, in FAQ), mainly the Doom Metal Soundtrack Mod (this doesn't wanted to work for me, but you should give it a try yourself anyway), which will improve the music from those 8-bit MIDI sound, to high/CDDA quality PCM recordings.

Here you can find a review of Brutal Doom to get an idea of what it's about.

Hope this helps.
