Anybody downloaded SteamOS yet?

I'm tempted to make a SteamBox. It's apparently based on Debian Squeeze with a backported kernel and binary graphics drivers (meaning you'll need an NVidia card to match their specs).

Still, I think this is an awesome idea for Steam to open the specs up, and GPL as much of the OS as they can, and yet another reason the open source community should applaud their efforts.

Sounds like a new project for me! I'll do a run of it.
