Download Valve's SteamOS this Friday, December 13th

[adamsmasher]

According to this article at The Verge, Valve is releasing Steam OS on December 13th. Those of you who are comfortable installing Linux will be able to dive into the new OS at the same time as those lucky souls who will be receiving Steam Boxes.

The specs for Steam Boxes are very similar to those listed for CustoMacs, so a SteamBox/CustoMac system would make a great addition to your living room.

Fantastic! Perhaps SteamOS will finally be the Linux build that I will actually keep installed and use!

Fantastic, that would make a nice dualboot if possible since my machine/desk is very close to my tv I could just pop up Steam OS and play via my TV – am I'm beeing right here?

Thanks for announcing, btw !

Is it possible to set up our Chameleon Boot Loaders to identify the SteamOS and give it a unique logo?

I'm assuming Chameleon will see SteamOS as just another Linux based OS.
