Steam for Linux

Steam for Linux has officially been released to the public :) I have been beta-testing the client and various Steam-powered Linux-games. I'm also beta-testing Spotify Linux preview at the moment (and have been for the past two years). Comparing the two projects wouldn't be fair, since the Spotify-team have limited development-resources compared to the Steam for Linux-team.

But, I have to admit, the few (about 2) months spent beta-testing Steam for Linux really showed real development progress throughout. Bugs were rapidly being adressed and worked out, properly. Thus the Linux-client beta-phase just flew by.

The link below shows how to install Steam for Linux on a Ubuntu-machine ;)
