An anonymous reader writes "In preparation for the "Steam Box" game console that will make necessary their own Linux-based software platform, Valve developers have started publishing Debian packages for their platform which looks like their first-generation operating system will be derived from Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. So far the packages being published include a new "Plymouth" boot splash screen as the operating system loads, a Steam desktop wallpaper, auto-updating system scripts, and experimental NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Valve+Starts+Publishing+Packages+For+I ts+Own+Linux+Distribution%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2 FZ3ERbb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F04%2F02%2F1449202%2Fvalve-starts-publishing-packages-for-its-own-linux-distribution%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium% 3Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/04/02/1449202/valve-starts-publishing-packages-for-its-own-linux-distribution?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
