It has been rumored (and somewhat confirmed) for a few months vac2 was for both source and hl1 and I guess this update proves it.

As part of the next version of VAC, which is currently in testing, the Linux game server now must have GLIBC 2.3.2 or above installed

(I donÃ¢Â€Â™t really care, but itÃ¢Â€Â™s a nice surprise for the fifty billion people that still play cs.)
