Valve’s Source Engine Coming to Linux?
Some exciting news coming from the Phoronix website suggests that Valve may be porting the Source engine to Linux.
The Source engine powers many of Valve’s top titles including Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, Day of Defeat: Source, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
Linux support for Source is likely to increase the take up of Linux based operating systems amongst Joe Public. Lack of support for modern games is often cited as a reason for not moving from Windows.
Lets hope that the rumours are true, and that Valve are the first of many games developers to go down this route.

This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf
