Remember how Phoronix insinuated it was just around the corner two years ago: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=valve...

I doubt Valve need two years to port it to Linux. With Gabe's track record of taking his time developing software, I don't think we should get our hopes up too soon.

If they want to support more than just a single version of a single linuxdistro, two years would be an incredibly fast port. Ask anyone who has done commercial software shipped binary-only for linux.

That was an unsourced claim which Valve denied ("There's no Linux version that we're working on right now. ", Aug 2010).

Has Valve actually confirmed the rumour this time around?

Gabe's email doesn't count?
