All the needed packages are listed there too. It doesn't matter exactly if you use an rpm or deb or whatever based distro.
If you have any kind of grafical package manager, where you can search for packages you're saved.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial (just with _your_ package manager) and everything should be alright.

There is a problem and it is that you can't CNR purebasic. How do you get it to even run.

If you had read it, you would have seen, that PureBasic is NOT installed over some packagemanager in any way. You gotta do it manually, just setting up the enviroment works with the packagemanager (of any kind).

Once again:

a) RT(F)M again.
b) Read it again.

c) FIRST you prepare your Linux-Box with CNR to have all the LIBS,... you need to get PureBasic running (libgtk-devel, libsdl1.2-devel and der specific dependencies).

d) THEN you download PureBasic, unpack it and follow the instructions in the manual.

Do I have do DL a FreeSpire Image to make another Tutorial for a slightley different Distro?

Get synaptic via Apt and then you can exactly follow the instructions in the tutorial.
