+(WIP)
+Install WINE through your package manager of choice. Double click Transcendence.exe to run the game or right-click and select "Open with WINE Program Loader".
+A known issue with Transcendence v1.3 and above is that having the music enabled will cause the game to hang immediately when you attempt to run it. This can be fixed by going into your //settings.xml// file and disabling the music from there (set value from "true" to "false").
+Unfortunately //settings.xml// is automatically generated when running the game for the first time so if you do not already have one, you will need to acquire it elsewhere -- it will not be generated if running for the first time on Linux. Try IRC or the forums.
+Another known issue is that it is not possible to switch windows using ALT+TAB or similar -- fix this by opening Wine Configurator, selecting Transcendence.exe from the list of programs on the main tab and then checking "Allow Window Manager to control the window" in the Graphics tab. Presto!
