Valve has finally opened up Steam's in-home streaming feature to everyone. Currently it allows you to Stream Windows games to different operating systems.
Soon though it will allow Linux hosts to Stream games to other computers. Odd that they took out the Linux-hosted Streaming for the official release, as our Samsai made a video on it and it worked.
This feature is awesome and will really set Steam apart from their competitors I think. I plan on getting a Steam Machine, but probably a low powered unit which means I will use my beefy computer to stream to a little box by my big TV to kick-back with friends on my sofa. This i imagine is something a lot of people will be doing.
Something very interesting is this:
It makes me wonder what other systems you will be able to Stream onto, possibly an Android tablet or an ipad? Imagine sitting in bed with a tablet playing some big PC game streamed from your Linux box, crazy.

Quoting: c00kie55Installing streaming server on a windows 7 virtual KVM machine with 16gb ram and the AMD r9280 gpu passed throug with newest virtio drivers for both ssddisk and network card instaled the game Rise of the triad had big lags when using host as client. I havent tryed passing throug a dedicated network card to the streaming server or using bridged network so i can use the laptop as clint to the virtual streaming server yet.
A virtual streaming server makes it possible to hide the signal through a diffrent monitor or monitor input source.
This is what I want to use the NVIDIA grid cards for. Run a couple instances of windows with the grid card and stream to the rest of my house (except the desktop). http://www.nvidia.com/object/grid-boards.html

Do you think this will be powerfull enough for high gpu intensive games ?
also what hypervisor are you planing to use ?
how much do you think this solution will cost ?
