Steam apparently coming to Linux

Don't know if anyone here has heard of this as of yet but according to the Telegraph and Phoronix, Valves Steam is coming to Linux.

I wrote an article about it Here.

Anyone else think it will actually come this time?

Nice. The port of the Source engine is even better news than the Steam content delivery client. Steam itself always ran fine for me under WINE but any actual games are usually ugly.

Don't count on much.

Every port of steam and the source engine has sucked major rear.

Consoles... Mac OSX...

You're better off running WINE if trends persist.

Well not everyone likes Wine. I also read the article and i'm pretty sure it will happen.

I'm not so sure about that.

I recall attempting CS:S in WINE on one occasion. A framerate of 1 FPS (yeah, literally) is not playable.
