And the first place someone who doesn't already know that is going to look is here.

Darn it all to heck
I have a Steam subscription and that's how I installed Darwinia...I'd love to get the linux binary...is there a way to transfer the license?

Just download the Linux binary and use the Steam files. It should work...

More specifically, you need to take the main.dat and sounds.dat files from the SteamApps\username\Darwinia (something like that...) folder, and put them in the .../darwinia/lib directory. That's all! So first, just run the installer, but make sure to uncheck the box that checks for the cd, and then just copy these files over. If you have a savegame you want to transfer, take the users folder in the Darwinia directory inside of Steam, and copy it to ~/.darwinia/full, and you're good to go. Yay for trial and error to figure this out.

But the difference is just in the newline char, isn't it? If memory serves, Windows uses \r\n, while UNIX uses just \n (or something like that). My knowledge of the command line is fairly minimal, but couldn't you fix that fairly quickly with sed or awk or something like that?
