Here's The First Screenshot Of The Linux Steam Client
,----[ Quote ]
| Less than two weeks ago we reported on the
| Mac OS X Steam client confirming the
| existence of a Linux client and then found
| more Linux references too. We then found the
| unreleased Steam Linux binaries that were
| under active development. Some still didn't
| believe the existence of a Steam client for
| Linux with Source Engine support, but it's
| something we have said for nearly two years
| based upon our sources and then the
| emergence of these binaries.
|
| These Linux binaries didn't successfully
| run, but now some independent users managed
| to get the first Steam client window to
| appear. Below is the first screenshot of the
| Steam Linux client provided to us by a
| Phoronix reader known as Kame.

| Perhaps we will have to keep building
| systems from parts and just avoid the huge
| cards. Folks laugh when I tell them I set up
| GNU/Linux terminal servers with on-board
| video or a $40 video card but thatâs all
| most of us need and the thin clients have
| their own cheap, built-in cards and do not
| use the video card on the server at all.
|
| It seems to me the gaming market is over-
| sold. Only about 10% of PCs are used
| steadily for gaming and by a narrow group of
| users. Most of the world uses PCs for text,
| images, video, audio and not gaming, so why
| spend $billions producing chips that are not
| needed? What is needed are such chips on
| servers and billions of single or dual-core
| chips for PCs, thin clients, netbooks,
| smartbooks and smartphones, few of which
| have any need for six cores.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup 0.6.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Whatâs probably my favorite Linux game from
| the past year, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, is
| now at version 0.6.0! Itâs a roguelike game
| that comes in graphical and console flavors
| (donât eat it), and is fairly easy to get
| the hang of. Donât get me wrong, itâs still
| a roguelike and youâll probably die a
| thousand painful deaths (I was killed by bee
| stings once), but thereâs a tutorial and
| many, many character combinations to suit
| different play styles.

24 Extra Hot Free Linux Games (Part 1 of 3)
,----[ Quote ]
| If Linux is going to make significant
| strides in increasing market desktop share,
| it needs to be able to compete with Windows
| in all areas. The average computer user
| typically just wants a single operating
| system to use for their work, to surf the
| net, to keep in contact with family and
| friends, and to have some fun. Having to
| reboot between operating systems is frankly
| too inconvenient for many users, as well as
| being perceived as too difficult. Whilst you
| can run many Windows software from Linux
| (e.g. by using virtualisation software, or
| Wine), again this simply appears to add to
| the complexity of using the PC. Furthermore,
| whilst Wine does allow some of the hottest
| Windows games to run under Linux, it is
| inevitable there will always be some
| incompatibility issues.
