There are many different distributions (distros) of Linux: you need to tell us which one because the instructions will be different for many.

Here's the top 10.

I just downloaded the .DEB package from Alwil and installed it with the Debian package installer.
It's as easy as install it in Windows.

CentOS is based on RedHat- which uses the RPM package.

The CentOS web pages says it's for servers, so I expect you'll need the server edition.

I can't see an installation guide- can't help you there, I'm afraid- I'm an Ubuntu user.

Unzipped? As long as ubuntu uses *.deb package format, just use this package as any other :).
