I was able to download Steam onto my mint 11 Katya environment (had to tweak permissions to run the DL file as an executable). Set up steam, downloaded ALL my games onto Steam, tried running all of them from the shortcuts, Mint thought about it and quit trying. Pulled up Steam, got as far as the latest updates pop up, then Steam itself closed, not even "crashed," just closed.

Any other suggestions appreciated. Am further along with Steam on Linux than I was, yesterday.
