You probably want to check out Gantt-Project at http://www.ganttproject.org/
It's a Java program, meaning you need a working installation of Java on
your system (which you probably have anyway). Start it by using 
> java -jar ganttproject-1.9.11.jar

Since it is a native Java app it runs a bit slowly :) It probably isn't
as powerful as MS Project, but I think it features enough functionality
to be useful.

As a matter of fact, I am using it right now for a stupid and boring
project management course at the TU Vienna. Unfortunately the
documentation/manual is not very impressive.
