I played portal via steam on Linux years ago!

(OK so that was wine, but it worked pretty well :)

I did too! In a little window in the middle of my screen. Sometimes the game would freeze for a second or two to load a sound effect.

Tonight I played the first half of the linux beta at 1920X1080 resolution and it just made me giddy. I'd been waiting a long time for this day.

Really?

I had it running fullscreen and pretty perfectly. Fullscreen was 1280x800, mind. But it worked fine. L4D and L4D2 I've had working too.

Me too. I played it when it was free, one of the first full windows games that I got to work flawlessly on my Linux laptop.
