Continued at link.Valve has officially confirmed that it is developing a version of its Steam digital distribution platform for Linux - but its efforts are to be limited to a single distribution initially.
Announced late last night on the newly-launched Valve Linux Blog, the company has confirmed that its Steam platform will be launching on Canonical's Ubuntu Linux distribution, with other distributions potentially following at a later date.

Poor Valve... Even if they choose the slowest evolving distro the compatibility issues are going to keep their staff up to their eyes in energy drinks and fast food deliveries.
