VALVE (steam) started their survey for the 1000 users beta

[Artemis3]

So run to this page to login in your steam account and fill their poll, then hope for the best...

They will probably pick a diverse group according to hardware, it is implied that Ubuntu is the preferred distro.

I took the survey, not getting my hopes up to be picked.

/me wonders if we could enhance the chances of forum members if we created a thread about the beta test similarly to the U+1 thread where we could discuss and help troubleshoot the issues...

Signed up and crossing fingers.

if any Linux users at the UDS(Ubuntu Developer Summit) on Monday will get a sort of guaranteed access to the beta (definitely just throwing out a guess there, but it is something that happens often at events like this, so I would not be surprised if Valve were to give out guaranteed spots in the beta at the Summit).

Great idea! I've been so looking forward to this! I'm really hoping I get picked! Getting Steam and at least some of my games running under Ubuntu would be the final thing I need to completely ditch Windows once and for all.

Woohoo!

Slowly slowly goes the night...

Since Civilization V is available on Crapple, I expect it will be made available for Linux also. At least that's what I'm counting on...
