Steam Big Picture beta tipped for this week, Linux beta imminent

Steam is about to get a lot bigger and better, assuming you have a big-screen TV or are a Linux user. A detailed report on Valve posted in The New York Times claims that “on Monday, the company will begin a public test of a new television-friendly interface, Big Picture, for buying Steam games and playing them on computers in the living room.”
As it’s Monday now, we can presume this means U.S. Monday — so fire it up on Tuesday morning and see what’s cracking.
Meanwhile, files discovered in the Steam Database reveal an entry for the Linux beta, suggesting very strongly that the beta for the Linux version of the platform will be with us very shortly.
Steam Trading Cards are real, and you can join the beta now

I just want to see how it goes; If Big Picture is nice enough, I’ll use it on my desktop. An alternative set out could be really revitalizing to see
Also, I welcome our new Penguin Overlords. And look forward to some new linux games.
I wish we had more info on what it really is.
I’ve been using my PC on my 50″ plasma in the living room exclusively for about 2 years now and steam is just fine. I’m not sure what they can do to make it better.
