Thanks to the Steam group chat it has been revealed that Steam will go live today when someone pointed this out, the news comes thanks to Nvidia's news here dated today with the release of an improved graphics driver.

Steam also has some planned Downtime today at 11PM GMT (16:00 PDT) so it could well be a late night release for me.

That doesn't work though, I tried and I can't get it to download. I'll have KF down in a couple of minutes and World of Goo is working fine, along with the overlay!
I'm disappointed with the lack of Team Fortress right now, I hoped it'd work.

for us none .deb users:
open .deb with ark
open data.tar.gz
extract the bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32 file to directory named Steam (where you please)
execute ./steam.sh
it will update and you will end up with the inlog screen
enter login, it will see your on a new pc, get code from your email, enter it and your in :)
no other dependencies or root needed, there are some gtk errors, but that is why its beta
by the look of the directory structure they seem to go for builds per distro_version, but as long as your close enough with the libraries there should be little problem.

Well then, get on with it and download some games!
I still have 13 minutes left for KF and the speed sometimes dips really low.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6169, member: 1"So any easy ways to skip past the your not in beta popup anyone?
As I said, Kame was right, use his idea from page 2 :D
You'll need to everytime you start Steam.
