UDS keys have been sent.

UDS keys? What is that?

As for packaging. Valve and also Nvidia etc. should only provide LSB compatible stuff alike Google Earth.

UDS keys? What is that?

UDS=Ubuntu Developers Summit.

What he means is that people who were at the UDS have now been invited to the beta in addition to the 1000 initial users. It's to be expected, since apparently they promised to do it, but it's also a good thing. It means that they are expanding the beta after only 9 days.

If we're lucky we might see a public beta by the end of the month at this rate. All signs seem to be pointing to a fairly stable product.

I can play World of Goo and Frozen Synapse even if it's restricted access. I can't wait for public beta!

For people having problems running serious sam 3 BFE on 64bit linux, and notice terrible glitching. You should install libpci3 32bit library. It helped out, but also the upgrade to Nvidia's graphics driver to 310.19 helped out alot as well.

to get libpci3 to install just type in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install libpci3:i386

TF2 can now be played without officially being in the beta. 8)

Tried TF2 for abit. For some reason It ran at like 15 FPS. Surely It can't be my hardware as running this game under Windows I can get 50-60 fps. Unless It's that much under dev. It's how It's suppost to be?

The latest update of the steam client managed to drop the cpu usage from ~20% to ~2%, at least on my system, but the ram usage skyrocketed to 25% (1GB ram), for some reason.

TF2 what is the full name? Where is it, in the demo section?

Where to change password etc. in steam?

Thanks
