Valve has authorized us to distribute the Steam Linux package to our users and host it in our repositories Suggests that Valve are happy to see Steam spread to other distributions (presumably with certain compatibility checks). A good sign IMHO; I have seem some concerned about being locked into Ubuntu. Will be interesting to see how far they are prepared to take things: will it be only Ubuntu/Debian based distros, or will they spread to others too? If Steam for Linux takes off AT ALL it seems it would be in (say) Red Hat's interest to get it working in Fedora.
