Default Would Debian game work on Slack 9.1

I want to dual-boot Linux on wife's brand new Toshiba laptop. She loves a card
came called Spider Solitare which comes with WinXP. (Wife is disabled and
computer games help her "cope" with the pain and being less mobile than the
rest of us.)

Did some research (so I don't get the crap beaten out of me again :-)).

I found this on the Debian site:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/spider

I assume this is a Debian package. Or is it source? Anyway, is it possible to
compile this and get it to work on Slack 9.1 without being a guru? (I looked
for a Spider package in LinuxPackages but there isn't one.)

BTW, does anyone know what file system XP uses??? fat32 or is it ntfs? How can
you tell (in XP). Will QTparted work on ntfs?

Thanks,
Al
