Sadly I ended up implementing an 'alternate' means.  Technically I have a
key that I paid for, I just cannot figure out how to access it.  Hopefully
others will be smarter than I and not order their copy from
Direct2Drive.com.  For some reason I couldn't get the Steam download to
work which is why I tried D2D.  I was too impatient to wait for a DVD via
snail mail.

On the bright side the game is working well on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit with a
NVidia 8600 graphics card and a 2.6 Ghz AMD CPU.  I'm getting some
artifacts in the sound, but it doesn't detract too much from the game
play.  The game doesn't like resolution above 1024x768 on my system. 
Looks good at that resolution though.

You need to delete the .prey sub-directory in your home directory if you
choose a resolution that crashes your game.  At which point you need to
retype the CD key.

I've smoothly played up to the first boss monster w/o any stability problems.
