Although GOG only has the PC and Mac versions (for now), there is a Linux version. Most Linux distros should be carrying Warsow in their repositories. (Though some may require third party repositories. For example, your best bet for Ubuntu is through PlayDeb.) The downside is that some of these distros are using an older version. Be sure to check through your distro first and see if they have version 1.02. If not, you can head over to the Warsow website and download a precompiled package directly from them:
http://www.warsow.net/download
This package will work on Ubuntu-based systems (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Mint are some well known ones) and potentially any Debian based systems. People using non Debian distros, like Fedora, OpenSuse, etc, can use the software Alien to convert the package from .deb to their local package type:

People who are really hardcore and want to build the source code for themselves are in luck as well. Warsow is open-source, and the sdk can be found on their downloads page.
Experienced users should be able to compile it relatively easily, but for those who are newer at it, the Warsow wiki should be updated soon with more detailed instructions:

Lastly, the Warsow forums are a great place to ask any questions you have:
http://www.warsow.net/forum
Or you can check out the IRC channels on Quakenet:

Channels: #warsow (official), #warsow.na (for North American players, tends to have more people online)
