Meanwhile I can't get Steam to start on 2 different linux laptops. I've download and run it and it's in the applicaiton launcher, but when I try to launch it nothing happens.

Did you use Ubuntu software manager or the installer from steam? You should use your distro's package manager.

You might be missing some dependencies. Find the steam binary, open a terminal in that directory and type: ldd ./steam to see which libs are missing. Then find the right packages to install those libs.

Search around Askubuntu. They probably know what to do.

run it from a command line (konsole, etc) and see what error pops up.

Kubuntu (with xfce) and Xubuntu (now that I know I hate KDE).
