Linux Steam Clues

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.
