Valve Linux Steam Client Beta Application

We're looking for Linux gamers to install and test our new Steam for Linux client. We are primarily interested in experienced Linux users.

In order to take the survey, you need to first login with your Steam account to link your response with your Steam ID.

Head over here if you're interested: http://www.valvesoftware.com/linuxsurvey.php

I will be attending the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Copenhagen in a few days and hope there will be some kind of beta announcement there as well. There will also be a number of game development related sessions that I will try to attend and report back on if I pick up anything of relevance to 0 A.D.

Limited beta begins today, will expand in the future: http://store.steampowered.com/news/9289/

An interesting side effect of Valve's efforts is that NVIDIA has been able to double the performance of their proprietary graphics drivers for Linux, which should also be of benefit to 0 A.D. players: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/Releases/NVIDIA-Delivers-Massive-Performance-Boost-to-Linux-Gaming-8ac.aspx

Very good news for Linux-users, thanks zoot ! Everyday new stuffs confirm that I made a good choice by choosing Linux and free open-source programs. It takes time to have interesting steps like this one above, but it finally comes.
