Steam for linux?
As soon as news broke that the Steam client for Mac systems was on the way, Linux gamers everywhere scooted up to the edge of their seats. "Now all they have to do is release this for us!!" which, of course, brought the inevitable "It'll be a cold day...before Valve releases a Linux client" replies.
Not so fast. Over at Phoronix, they've found a sliver of evidence that Valve is indeed working on Linux support. In the source code of the Steam launcher for Mac, you can clearly see the reference -- "$UNAME == "Linux" and PLATFORM=linux32.
As Phoronix states, there's really no reason for Valve to build in a platform check for Linux unless they're making references to Linux elsewhere in the Steam code.

F.lux: Better lighting...for your computer
Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun.
It makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. (Works with the latitute and the longitute of your location)
It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.
f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest, automatically.
About how to install it on Linux check out this article: Ubuntu-Inside.me
