Valve recently released its Beta version of SteamOS, based on the Debian distro of Linux. Naturally, we were intrigued by its release and wanted to take the new OS for a test run. We’ve put together a guide on how to install the operating system.

Starbound is currently available through Steam’s Early Access program. That means the game is still in active development. It’s a beta test that you can pay to take part in. This isn’t a review of the final product, but one writer’s thoughts after playing several hours of the game in beta.
