How to get steam to work on my google chrome book?

Q. Will steam work on my google chrome book? And if so how do I get it to work?

A. You might have to dual boot your Chromebook with Ubuntu then download steam for Linux, not 100% sure if it'll work.

do you need windows OS to run windows OS apps on linux using wine?
Q. im looking to run steam on linux using wine and i dont have windows.so do i need windows to run windows apps on linux using wine or do i not?if i dont how can i do that?and if i do is there any other way?i would really be thankfull.

A. no, wine provides the function calls itself, there is no need for a windows installation disk or license.

Here is a link from Ubuntu on setting up steam with wine.

What are the benifets of linux, what are its major differences from windowsXP?
Q. also i am planning on running a hl2 steam server (counter-strike source) any tips for that?

A. Main difference being that Linux is open source and therefore you can do anything you want with it.
I think stability and security are the main practical differences.

Here's some comparisons:
