>what we really want is Source for Linux.

Hey, buddy, you already got it. Linux is open source.

"Source" is the brand name of Valve's game engine, used in the Portal and Half-Life series, Team Fortress 2, etc. "GoldSrc" refers to the legacy version of the engine used in Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, etc.

I know, just trying to make someone laugh (:

I lol'ed, mission accomplished!

CS 1.6, CS:S, and CS:GO for Linux would keep me happy for awhile :)

Add Quake Live, and I'm good for a long time.

Make it a lot easier to switch between gaming and coding.

In my case, TF2 and Half-Life are the only things stopping me switching to Linux as my main OS. I can agree with you there, I want to be able to code and game on the same OS.

Both run very well in wine/crossover.

I have an ATI card D:

Then again, no amount of engineering by Valve will fix that.

quake live runs perfectly well on Linux.

Sorry, I'm not an alcoholic anymore.
