Summary: "For those that have doubted the exclusive Phoronix claims for

quite a while now that the Steam client and Source Engine are in fact

being ported to Linux, the doubts can be nearly laid to rest. Even I

began to wonder how long it would take before the clients for their

popular games would be publicly released under Linux. However, after

confirming the information perhaps a bit too soon, their level of Linux

interest is much more clear after spending a day at their offices. A

meeting topped off the day with Gabe Newell regarding Linux where he

sounded more like a Linux saint than an ex-Microsoft employee. Valve

does have some great plans for Linux beyond just shipping the client

versions of Steam and their popular games on the Source Engine."
