Always Good to find more gamers! Sorry CS- Source is not available on Linux and Valve has announced officially that they have no plans to port steam or its game clients to Linux.
The CS Server runs natively on Linux though. Check out Urban Terror...it is similar to CS. Will keep you posted when i setup a server.
