Linux is a great OS for both desktop and other application. Here is the Linux website for installation Linux Online - How to Install Linux?. go on this and install the Linux

You have to have 10 posts before you can post a link. Nice try though, you forgot the rest of the code.

Here's the solution my friend just read this one out.
It is not an ACPI specification violation that Linux
(and ACPICA) claim compatibility with the interfaces
advertised by one or multiple versions of Windows.

Yes, there are be cases where BIOS vendors will want
to know if the running version of Linux supports,
or does not support, an interface/feature.

We (the Linux community that maintain Linux/ACPI) are
eager to support them in this. However, the interface
needs to be sufficiently defined so that we know when
to _not_ advertise that feature.

eg. There are proposals for

_OSI("Linux-Needs ATI S3 video re-POST")
_OSI("Linux-Needs NVIDIA S3 video re-POST")
_OSI("Linux-Native IPMI Support")

and we'd compile these into Linux based on the capabilities
of the build. I'm sure that these would not be perfect --
as the BIOS would probably query these at _INI time before
the (likely loadable module) drivers that influence these
features would be loaded. So we'd probably have to build
them into the core based on the assumption that the driver
built with the core will actually get loaded.

But this is the kind of Linux-specific OSI string we can advertise,
and choose not to advertise -- depending on the build.

Thanks for the guidance and you can visit soft pedia they have got another Linux steam installation guide, you can also refer to it.

i was using the cedega CVS though...
different errors too...
but mine froze at 27% as well. maybe there is a more windows specific task it performs at that point...

UPDATE: i installed the file Steaminstall_CS.exe and that installed and updated. it stopped at 27% but a new window was opened that finished the job. however that crashed as well saying it was unable to initialise a dll.

Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?
