Steam to be available on Linux in the future?

Look closely at the job requirements. It would seem Valve might be in the process of making a Linux-based Steam client. Thoughts?

doubtful. Looks like standard req's for any tech job. A good majority of back-end servers, storage, and file sharing servers are all linux.

Mind you it is available on Mac...

its funny to see my tfc clan leader from like 2004 as the VP of marketing for FF :D

Well this has already happened and nothing came of it.

On a slightly unrelated note, steam mostly works under wine. The problem is getting the games (by this I mostly mean getting directx and gpu drivers) to work properly.

Buckshot Moose even had ff 2.0 working with the right (8800 I believe) card.

We are talking about Valve, right? I remember reading shortly before Steam for Mac was released that Steam for Linux was in the works. That was like... 2 years ago.

ya man, I have no problems playing most source engine games or mods w/ wine so far. tho nuclear dawn was crashing a bit ..

Just saw an announcement that Steam will soon be available on certain smartphones, too.:thumbsup:

Just saw it on the Android market now available for download...

I just received the beta access for it and been messing around on my droid. It's actually a really really nice app and the chat works awesome

I noticed that the chat works alot better than default SMS messaging too (ie: it's instant).

almost like it uses the internet .. or something
