    We already have Ubuntu variants which boot straight to an application (XMBCbuntu), and use the official repos for updates.
    Chances are someone will mix up a Steamuntu, even if its not officially supported by Valve but gets all the official Ubuntu updates.

    From what I can tell of the beta Linux Steam client, its responsible for its own updates rather than adding a new repository (like Google Chrome does) and relying on the user to keep their OS up to date.

  20. Re:Business as usual on No IPv6 Doomsday In 2012 · · Score: 1

    For unauthenticated connections, this is true.

    But for RADIUS authenticated services (most ADSL connections for example), the IP address can be included in the Access Accept response.

    Your cable modem/router may be sending authentication details along with its MAC, and the remote side may use the MAC as a factor in assigning the IP address, but I am unfamiliar with cable technology so I can only speculate.
