It usually comes with most distros these days too, you should be able to find it on the installation CDs...although it wont be the latest version.
It is still a little flakey (possibly the understatement of the year!) but does sort of work, I use it to run DreamWeaver here at work and winex (from transgaimg) for playing windoze games at home.
