#4Now they just need to let us keep multiple boxes logged in at the same time. I don't like having to relogin on my settop.

#5My mind is still being blown from TF2 running better in Linux than I've ever, ever, ever had any Source game run in Windows.

Is that from the private beta, or did I miss an announcement regarding wider distribution?

The Linux client is still in private beta, but you can easily circumvent it by just downloading the .deb and installing/running it on Linux anyway. FWIW, I wasn't invited to the beta right away, but about a week after I started running it anyway, I was invited.
The only issue you might run into is that it'll sometimes say your account is not authorized to use the Linux beta, but there are directions online on how to get around this by adding some flags and launching it from the CLI.
I'm not sure why I bothered though, since my Linux ultrabook can barely run any games anyway.

Yeah, this has really pissed me off since installing the Linux beta, since I have two machines regularly logging in now.

Yes, it's particularly troublesome with Big Picture- isn't the idea that I'm going to have this connected to my TV, i.e. without a keyboard?
I can live with being unable to run games on two computers at the same time, but I wish I could stay logged in on two computers. Or at least, I don't know, pass a token.
