    Oh, sorry about that. It happens that this kind of comments can be read in forums from users who believe that.
    When you are satirical is convenient to put some smiley at the end of your comment.

    If you are so superior why not take Debian binaries and you manage to make them work in Slack or Arch?
    Come on, if you're a genius should be able to do that.
    Indeed, that shouldn't be that a big problem....the issue here is if they accept him or me because we intend to use Slackware instead of UBUNTU....of course that i could have lied with all my kinda big canine teeth but i preferred to be honest...

They can't trouble shoot and are in fact windows users in disguise. Acknowledge our mental superiority and add Slackware to the list and give us the preferential treatment we deserve.

    Really bad survey.

    I can understand that they want only ubuntu users for now (looking at the driver choices), but they specifically tell that they want the test to be performed on different hardware. How am I supposed to know which one of the 4 machines I have (and can easily dual boot to Ubuntu just for Steam testing) are least common?! What has my day-to-day choice of DE to Steam gaming? Isn't the whole point of testing to do it on at least few DEs or raw window managers? Same with drivers, if I'm going to be testing, I'd test both the OSS and closed source drivers for the GPU...
    I feel pretty much the same for the most part. I have two capable gaming computers running arch and mint why not let me test them both? It should be a proper which distros are you currently using and FFS get some distros in the checklist.... "other"?

    Okay I am not an employee but the way I feel the survey should be (at least from a technical perspective)...

    Which distro(s) are you using?(This should just be for statistical purposes as it is largely irrelevant)
    Arch(64/32bit)>Multilib(Y/N)?
    CPU > cores@speed
    What graphics card(s) vendor are you using? >model>RAM
    which graphics driver(s) do you have installed
    Sound system(Alsa/OSS/Pulse...)
    Memory amount/type
    Package manager
    DE>WM
    Compositor (If applicable)
    Experience level
    *Game ownership they can pull off your account (For client viability sake)

    If I try to repeat the survey I get the message: "You have already completed the survey. Thanks!".


    Rather frustrating.
    Can't you just create another Steam account for the beta (as a workaround)?
    Of course you still need a setup which works...

    I had no problem, I used ubuntu 12.10 and Firefox 16.0.2.
    For those who had problem, it could be the cookies settings.
