The use of Steam on Macs is not supported. Please see the FAQ linked below for a full list of system requirements to run Source-engine games through Steam:

System Requirements for Source-engine Games


Linux

The Steam Client is strictly a Windows application and there are no plans to create a native Linux Steam Client at this time.

Although the Steam Client is not available for Linux, there is a native Linux version of the Half-Life Dedicated Server available.

The best source of information on this product is the Steampowered.com Linux Server Forum:

Linux Dedicated Server

There is also an ADMIN Mail list for Linux that you can read the archives and join to ask questions:

hlds_linux -- Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list

If you wish to run the Dedicated Server under Linux, you can download the Server Installation tool:
