oh hell yea! beta dist would be invaluable.
as for the (us) poor sots in winders land.... Linux does not need a nice gui. but dos needs the dos console mode. somebody at valve (alfred?) fixed this up so any winders complainer simply needs to be told to go run hlsupdate again.
hopefully this thread diversion will result in an hlsupdate beta testing program.
adios all you super-leet linux gods! (until i get time to switch to linux....)

Shit -- you know -- I just wrote a good four paragraphs along those lines and then closed the window just like you said. Sheesh. :)
You guys with the big server setups sure abuse Valve a lot, and don't give them a whole load'a love considering *they're* providing *you* with the means to make *you* money in the first place. How much are you paying for those licenses again?
That said, I do think it'd be neat to have a distributed beta system set up so a few thousand servers around the world were used to test server- side updates for a day or two before an official release was made.
