      So, is this part of the Steam Box I've been hearing about? Or was the Steam Box the OS this entire time?

      Kind of interesting. Though I don't really see a benefit to switch to an entire new OS to play games. Eh... not sure about this.

      All of the other Snivies
      Used to laugh and call him names
      They never let poor Charu
      Join in any Snivy games

          it's not very clear what this offers over steam

          a new linux distro, so what? what's stopping me from running a dvi to hdmi cable to my tv and achieving the same thing?

                  i don't understand convenience of having an OS dedicated to steam when i could just have a computer with steam installed on it that does the same thing. if it's to avoid the overhead of a traditional general purpose OS, i guess that makes sense, but it's not a compelling enough reason for me to use it imo.
