No, no. I mean that there will be (in fact, already are, but not quite reached the market yet) the original console device by Valve, called "SteamMachine", with SteamOS as it's operating system. There'll be many different flavours of "SteamMachines" with different hardware specs. SteamOS is pretty much the side result of a SteamMachine campaign. While it's possible to install SteamOS on your PC, I just don't see much sense in it, to be honest, as every game ported to SteamOS, should also work on Ubuntu/Debian/whatever. I'm aware that SteamOS should be a pretty full-featured Linux distribution (at least, I hope so, and it looks this way). Still, Valve themselves say "SteamOS will not replace your primary OS, it is a "living room OS"", which obfuscates things a bit. So I guess the only way to find out for sure what it's really about is to go ahead and install it. -- Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
