Linux Steam Clues [Nov 29, 2008, 4:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Linux lovers at
Phoronix have word that a number of Linux libraries are included in the
no-longer-active demo for Left 4 Dead, which they call "additional
confirmation that Valve Software has ported their Steam game client to Linux."
Their write-up actually wavers between speculation and certainty, but they place
a lot of weight on the fact that these Linux libraries are within the Windows
demo, not the Linux server, and bolster their case that native Linux support is
in the works at Valve by reminding us that Running with Scissors has
confirmed plans for a Linux version of Postal III, and that Postal
III will use Valve's Source engine.
This, as the rumours indicate, would include a Linux version of the Source engine.Not necessarily. There is no indication that the Source engine is being ported to Linux, just that a single upcoming Source engine game will run on Linux. Hopefully that means Linux versions of HL2/TF2/Portal but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
