Valve Moves Closer to Linux With Beta Steam Client
Valve is making good on its promise to move towards Linux - the studio is seeking testers for the Beta version of its Steam client for the computer operating system.

Experienced Linux users are recommended to file for an application, although it seems fair to assume that all entrants will be considered. If you have a Linux machine, you can fill out a form by clicking here.

Left 4 Dead 2 has been confirmed as the first game to run on the Linux Steam client, which is being optimised for the Ubuntu operating system.

Valve has made no secret to slip away from Microsoft in the PC space, with studio boss Gabe Newell calling Windows 8 a "catastrophe" and declaring a renewed focus to develop for the open-source alternative.
