For those of you who are big gamers on Windows, and have played any of Valves games, like Life For Dead, etc, then you’ll be pleased to know Valve has decided to bring its Steam software to Linux, more specifically Ubuntu.
Though Steam will run on Unity’s 3D engine, it shouldn’t be that hard to get it to run on other distros.
Valve has also now given the chance to some lucky gamers, to be a beta tester for Steam on Linux. All you need to do is, leave a comment in their blog post, or email them at:
