I hadn't thought of that..does that mean that Doom3, UTx, QuakeWars etc will work if I download them through steam?<br>

I can't speak for Quake Wars, but I played through all of Doom 3 and its expansion pack on Linux, with data I bought on Steam. I copied it to a Linux box, dropped in the Linux binaries, and it ran fine. It looks like the UT2004 and UT3 installs are also uncompressed.<br>
<br>
They'll be sitting in "$WINDOWS_MOUNT/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/$GAME_NAME" once they fully download.<br>
<br>
Source Engine games (and probably others) may be sitting in a disk-image thingey that you may or may not be able to unpack, but third party games like Prey and Unreal are usually not.<br>
<br>
Likely the UT3 Linux installer will support Steam the same as the Prey installer does.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Sweet, thanks for that... I now look at steam with a whole lot more interest :-) <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Also: I meant to have the retail Prey build out last week, but there were several things competing for my time; I'll have it to you all shortly, but probably not before America chooses a new president.<div><div></div>
