Doom is available for linux at:

ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff

Most (if not all) if ID's games are ported to linux (including Doom3 :-))

However, you do have to have an purchased copy of the game since the downloads don't include the graphics, player models, etc.

Also, if you're really interested in linux gaming, check out www.transgaming.com
They provide compatability for windows games, although I've never used it myself.

Cheers,
Matt

An awesome game to kill time is Xmoto!!! If it's FPS games you like, something a big bigger (but not CS big) is Nexuiz, it's built off a custom Quake engine and is really very good. Don't try and play it online though, the netcode sucks but the bots will provide some quick entertainment
