May 07, 2008 -- There have been rumors since last year that Valve may be serious about porting Source games to Linux after Valve Software began seeking a senior software engineer with the responsibility of porting Windows-based games to the Linux platform. Valve Software has yet to officially announce Linux clients for any of its software, but at Phoronix we have received information confirming that Valve is indeed porting its very popular Source engine to the Linux platform.

the source engine has historically worked well on top of WINE anyway, but this is a great development. now it should perform better and be a bit more stable =)

also I wonder if this means the windows version will have an optional openGL renderer like GoldSrc (Half-Life 1) did
