Being someone who always seems to do things the hard way - a true-blue graduate of the school of hard knocks - I must say this sounds interesting. But I'm missing part of the story - who's the chap (I'm rather sure that it is a chap) behind this tutorial ?... Henri

We aims to please ! By the way, kudos for the great work you did with the old school computers.... Henri PS : Do you think, realneil , that it might be possible to convince the OP to correct that minor error I described in the PS to my first posting to the present thread ? I know I shouldn't let...

«Too bad there's 1) no proof of this and 2) no test specs. For all we know that linux system could've been running a far more beasty GPU and CPU.» 1) depends, JvanHummel , upon what one is willing to accept as proof. As regards 2), there are indeed specs, available here : http://blogs...

I'm no gamer and cannot address this issue directly, but I can say that generally speaking, identical applications that can run on both platforms run faster and more smoothly on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on my dualboot machine with Ubuntu and (64-bit) Windows 7 Pro. So I'm not particularly surprised...

Yeah, I'm hoping the same thing but trying to keep my expectations in check. Valve's silence (rather than outright denial) plus the partially-functioning alpha version of Steam for Linux found on their site shows that at least they're considering it. They probably don't want to commit...

Sorry I didn't get to play L4D with you and your bud yesterday Bob. I was letting my son use my account to play Portal at the time you guys got online. That's the one bad thing about Steam: There's no way to transfer games. I've already beat Portal, but I can either a) buy it again for...

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched too. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell if this is just a pet project of one of the devs, or if there's a set internal direction to eventually support the Linux desktop. I guess we won't really know until Valve makes an announcement. Working on Linux support...

Oh my... I saw another post where a guy made some educated guesses at the URL and found THIS FILE out on Valve's servers. I was able to download the files from the public/client directory of their store.steampowered.com server. In addition to the standard Steam directories, they contain a directory...
