I took that much for granted. It was more of a launching XBMC thing, i.e. would I be able to easily add a shortcut to Steam for XBMC (you can currently, but who knows if that'll carry on through to SteamOS).

Good point, guess I'm so used to XBMC for my media that, well, I'm not sure.. I'm just used to it, when talking media, XBMC seems the natural place to go.

Oops, making assumtions there. I guess the previous collaboration with Canonical they've done led me there.

Now comes the question, How well will XBMC integrate with this? If they both behave well together it's going to make for a damn good HTPC setup. Any word on if this is a completely own-rolled Linux Distro, or is it, as I suspect, an Ubuntu/Debian derivative due to their previous interactions?
