I will be installing this with extreme happiness. The entire Steam Linux library should work, no?

 

[Sid Jeong]

I guess it's not one click installer like ubuntu?

 

[Jordan Nwokolo]

sudo apt-get install steamOS...is it Right ??

Yes, but no word on whether streaming or anything is included. Most likely not. That being said, I am cleaning an old laptop for installation as I am typing this.

sudo apt-get install steamOS...is it Right ??

Nope, it's a OS not a system package. Unless it's an Ubuntu derivative, in which case is something along the lines of "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:steam/SteamOS" and then "sudo apt-get update".
Sorry, couldn't help my linux e-peen.

[brandonjclark]

It is Debian-based.

i would expect any game with linux support will work. i will be installing for sure on my htpc (dual boot with windows). something that tickles my fancy is the game streaming from another pc, so i can have my low end htpc hooked up to my tv and still run demanding/windows games via streaming from my main pc on the big tv screen.
