Today, Valve has announced the first part of it's plan to bring Steam to the living room.
This part takes the form of a free Linux-based operating called SteamOS. No exact release date is available, but they say it will be ready to download "soon".
Valve has announced Steam Family Sharing which will allow close friends and family-members to play one another's games whilst saving their own progress and achievements, via a shared computer.

Crysis is one of those games everybody needs to play at least once. The quality and eye-candy marked a whole new level of realism and benchmarking for computer hardware. Not to mention some really awesome aliens and the first time any game used no gravity.
Crysis actually runs pretty well in PlayOnLinux with a special patched version of Wine only available from PlayOnLinux.
Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Crysis in Linux with PlayOnLinux.
Needing some Nostalgic games back in your life? When was the last time you played Doom II, Hexen, Heretic or Warcraft?
DOS Box is a PC emulator which allows MS-DOS games and programs to be run under other operating systems. It was designed with PC gaming in mind, but should also run other DOS programs.
This step-by-step guide leads you through installation of DOSBox and Blood in Linux.
So my suggestion is that you take a moment to reassure us by posting a big fat hello...It need not be more than that or it could be your opus on all that's wrong with new sites on the Internet coming on so needy that you can't stand to post... more than to say bugger off.
Kidding aside, Linux gaming will get on fine without us. But we would like to be apart of all that we see coming down the pike. Your participation will help assure a place for GOL in Linux gaming's future.
