So your using linux, and your sitting there bored out of your skull due to lack of mapping for doom? Well today is the best day of your freaking life. Here is the quick 'n easy process to get Doom Builder running on linux (only tested on ubuntu).
---
1. Install wine. If you haven't already: http://www.winehq.org/site/download
2. Because wine is a simple install, you should get though that easily. Don't bother setting it up just yet. Next you need to download doom builder. http://www.doombuilder.com is all you need to go to.
3. Start installing doom builder. As seen in this screenshot:

4. Don't load up doom builder yet, this next step will get DB working
4 a. Download msvbvm50.dll, and unzip the dll into your DB folder.
4 b. Do the same for oleaut32.dll, and unzip that dll into your DB folder.
5. Next your configuring oleaut32.dll. Open up your wine configuration (Applications -> Wine -> Configure wine), go to libraries, and do what this image says:

Its important that you set it to 'native, then built in' or other applications might not work.
6. Apply those changes and load up doom builder. If you have done everything correctly, you should get this:

Things to note:
* You can edit scripts, but its as slow as hell.
* I have not tested map testing yet.
* 3d mode works, but you do need a fast CPU/GPU.
Good luck.
