As promised for today, Valve has released its custom operating system,SteamOS (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/steamos).

SteamOS is a custom version of the Linux operating system, so if you're looking to tinker around with it be sure to give this FAQ (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814395741989999/) a gander first. Valve is alsosending out Steam Machines (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/11/steam-machines-ship-to-beta-participants-on-friday/) to 300 beta participants starting today.

SteamOS is part of Valve's three-pronged approach in bringing PC gaming into the living. In addition to SteamOS, there are also Steam Machines (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/04/a-look-inside-valves-steam-machine-prototype/) - custom affordable pre-built PCs designed to play Steam games - and Valve's customizable Steam Controller (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/11/valve-demonstrates-steam-controller-in-new-video/).
