That is crazy requiring 500 gigs or more of hhd space. I guess it's not bad if you already have a 1tb drive.
How come they don't offer a ISO that you can burn to, and install from that. Not everyone can boot from usb. My lappy won't boot from usb I don't know why, Ive tried.

Personally I don't own a system with over 160gb, I'm such a bargain bucket, my system has 75gb rofl, and my laptop is just a joke, someone took the 250/300gb HDD out before I bought it and shoved a 60gb in and took the 1gb memory to, left me with 1gb lol, cheeky, either way I got them down to 120£ for a decent laptop.
I think it's still a big beta, I'm sure they will shrink it and soon enough you'll have it on a usb stick.
I to had a laptop that wouldn't boot from USB, took me about 5 different flash sticks and a few different software to burn to usb, I'm sure you'll be able to do it if you really want to, just a pain in the butt.

Give this one time to mature. I've been using steam on linux for a while, and it's beyond terrible. Bugs everywhere, half the games don't even launch, etc. Valve seems to ignore bug reports entirely, so I wouldn't expect it to be usable for quite a while.

What distro are you using?

I think that's just low for that person to take out the hhd and put in a 60gig
one.
I bought my laptop from my local pawn shop and i really got a good deal on it. It's not that big a deal to not have my usb work at boot. I don't intend to install anything from it anyways.

This. Odds are it'll all change. With SSDs being popular with gamers and many being smaller than 500 gigs this is in no way final, not if they want it to take off.

Debian 7.1. Steam has a lot of hardware-dependent bugs that valve just doesn't seem to care about. For example, left 4 dead 2 doesn't even launch on hd 4000 and under. There's been a bug report about it since it released, complete with tons of people having the same thing, but it hasn't been addressed at all. It reminds me a lot of when steam was fairly new on windows. Bugs everywhere, but unless they affect absolutely everybody, valve just ignored them for years.
