Valve has "Made Good Progress" on Steam for Linux


One way to avoid the wallet-crushing realities of the Steam Summer sale is to run Linux, where Steam doesn't work. Well, sorry folks, but Valve's got their eyes on your cash. According to the first post on the Valve Linux blog, the digital distribution giant has "made good progress" on bringing Steam to Linux. 

Focusing mostly on Ubuntu, the team is looking to bring a "fully featured" Steam to the platform. For them, that also means bringing games over, the first being Left 4 Dead 2. Apparently, Left 4 Dead 2 Linux is pretty close to running as well as it does on Windows, which is neat.
