Steam Linux Plans

Steam’d Penguins on the Valve Website has new details on Valve's progress in adding Linux support to Steam and their games. Here's word on their progress on a Linux Steam client and a Linux edition of Left 4 Dead 2:
The goal of the Steam client project is a fully-featured Steam client running on Ubuntu 12.04. We’ve made good progress this year and now have the Steam client running on Ubuntu with all major features available. We’re still giving attention and effort to minor features but it’s a good experience at the moment. In the near future, we will be setting up an internal beta focusing on the auto-update experience and compatibility testing.

Since the Steam client isn’t much without a game, we’re also porting L4D2 to Ubuntu. This tests the game-related features of the Steam client, in addition to L4D2 gameplay on Ubuntu. Over the last few months, excellent progress has been made on several fronts and it now runs natively on Ubuntu 12.04. We’re working hard to improve the performance and have made good progress (more on that in a future post). Our goal is to have L4D2 performing under Linux as well as it performs under Windows.

Go to www.netcraft.com, and in the upper left hand corner under "What's that site running", type in Valve's URLs.

Valve have generated billions of dollars and huge market share by running Linux on their servers. Yet, they have never raised a finger to help Linux, or acknowledge it for the success they have enjoyed due to it. (neither have any other companies that run Linux on their servers either, it's not just Valve by any means.) These companies would not be what they are today without Unix/Linux.

Unfortunate for these companies. Don't expect other people to do your work for you.
