nik	So yeah, I installed Steam through the client and the first time I run it, it shows the "updating" window, and it gets to 99% then the box disappears and nothing else happens. I'm running Debian 6.02 Squeeze Kernel 2.6.39-2-amd64 GNOME 2.30.2 4GB RAM, i5-2540M I have the wine config set up for Steam to run Windows 2008, if that helps. Thanks alot.

GNU_Raziel	Be sure to use PoL 3.8.12 and the Steam PoL installer. Why you should use OpenGL and not DirectX Richard Stallman Talks About Ubuntu
