Removed the second link; Problem with the first link may be caused by the havenandhearth.com server, which looks down at the moment I'm writing this comment. Let's see if it will work when the server goes up.

Strange indeed, it seams that the Go Ollie! page was not indexed. I havn't noticed anything like that before, maybe its the case for other pages too.

EDIT: Rebuilding the search index did help.

That is strange, if you install freedoom for debian, prboom and timidity are dependencies and are installed with freedoom. I would have expected the same for ubuntu.
Anyway, prboom seems to be the right choice.

So, the single-click-install-for-ubuntu installs 'freedoom' project, but that is only a WAD data file. How to play that ? What to install next to play it ? Recommended are 'prboom' or 'doom-engine', but which to use ?

So I installed 'prboom', and now it looks better, that's something that can be played. So I run it and get hangup in few seconds. What now ? So I google for solution, and I find that on Ubuntu Hardy it just happends. One fix is to install 'timidity' MIDI music package, other is to play without sounds with "prboom -nosound". ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prboom/+bug/139955 )

This should be added to installation information.

Which doom engine do you use ? prboom or something else ?

There are prebuilt BOR Ubuntu
3 years 4 weeks ago by tuxplayer

There are prebuilt BOR Ubuntu packages found on the web, but I would recommend you to use OpenBOR (at least it works better on my machine), you can get it at lavalit.com (registration required). You can compile OpenBOR yourself, or you can get prebuilt package (you'll find corresponding topic on lavalit.com);
However, if you really need original BOR engine for some reason, then you'll have to deal with Watcom C compiler and assembler.
