I'm using 0.5 DOSBox from SuSE Linux 8.2,
and it is up to 0.61 I see.
Go here for a short explanation and what you
need using the superior 'apt-get' Debian program to
download and set the 'dependencies for Linux.
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/otherosfs/dosbox
"Dosbox is a x86 emulator with
Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA graphics,
sound and DOS. It's been designed to run
old DOS-games under platforms that don't
support it. (Win2k/XP/FreeBSD/Linux) See
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net for more
information."
The site
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1
has over a dozen ports to many systems including
several Linux versions, MacOSx, Windows, BeOS,
and the source codes.
Among other tabs at the top of the above 'sourceforge' page
is : Links
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/links.php
which links to self and other DOS Emulators
The What's-New page is http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
for 0.61 in HTML but this is also in the downloaded
packet clumps.
Best of Luck
