Sweet. Looking forward to seeing lots of cheaper AMD APU based 'streaming only' machines now.

Would like to give this a go IF there was an easy way of getting it to dual boot.

Install Debian yourself and then just download the Steam app. For some reason the distro they supply wants to format everything.

Important! I have not tried this but saw someone recommend this method on the steam forums. I was planning to have a go myself but to busy at the moment... Proceed at your own risk and back up!

Ah nice one, will have a look at it, I won't need backups thankfully, its a clean Windows install, only been updated so nothing catastrophic could happen.
