I just downloaded the windows version and ran it in wine.  I forget exactly what steps I took...

You dont need to mess with wine at all to get it to work, just install wine and boot the exe with wine.

Yup. The Windows version runs almost flawlessly on Wine. I think the default font is a wee bit different, though, so some newspaper titles and the like might show up a bit funny.

You can also compile the source on Linux, but if you aren't familiar with that stuff I'd recommend you to use Wine, ignoring the possible font/color differences.
