Development Release: SteamOS 2.0 Preview |
 |
The developers of SteamOS, a Debian-based distribution for gamers, have released an early preview of what should eventually become SteamOS 2.0. Built on top of the new Debian GNU/Linux 8, the release is primarily designed for those users who would like to help with testing. From the release announcement: "Valve is pleased to announce the preview of the next SteamOS release, code-named "brewmaster" and based on the latest Debian 8.1 stable release. Please note that this is a very early preview release and we have done only limited hardware compatibility and functional testing. We are releasing this early to get feedback from the community. You should not install brewmaster on any machine containing data you are not prepared to lose completely. Although there are a lot of changes under the covers, the overall functionality and experience of brewmaster is the same as alchemist and most of the SteamOS FAQ applies to both releases."

Development Release: SteamOS 1.0 Beta |
 |
Valve has announced the availability of the much-awaited first public beta release of SteamOS, a Debian-based gaming distribution that includes the Steam client and some Steam games: "We've been hard at work to deliver on our promise of a new kind of living room entertainment environment - one that is accessible, powerful and open. In making the SteamOS Beta available to you, we're excited to take the next major step towards that goal." This early beta release is designed for developers and experienced Linux users; there is no easy-to-install ISO image - just a zipped file that needs to be decompressed onto a USB storage medium and a basic installer that will take over the computer's hard disk. SteamOS 1.0 is based on Debian GNU/Linux 7.0, but it ships with a newer kernel (3.10.11), proprietary graphics drivers (ATI 13.11 and NVIDIA 331.20), and a GNOME 3 desktop which must be manually enabled. See the SteamOS home page, the FAQs and the installation instructions for further information. Download link: SteamOSInstaller.zip (960MB). |
