As for your question about Wine, I always compile it from the website but if you don't want to do that or might not know the proper configuration to run the compile, you can get pre-packaged one from the winehq website.

I generally check out how the unstable looks and use it but if I see a lot of problems with it for any games I play I'll check out one of the previous unstable releases before settling on their latest release.

The releases from your distribution will generally be older versions of Wine, unlike the official releases for stable/unstable from the winehq website.
i know Gentoo is fully awesome, and can be easily reconfigured without breaking it.
and i like to mess around in CLI
so im thinking sabayon is a safe bet. for performance etc..
il attempt to compile wine from source. but first i got to install it..
had no luck tryin to boot the installer from USB. get a can't find root device error ... although i think that may be because its a FAT32 and theres files on there i believe bigger than the 2gb limit.
never the less il find a work around
thanks again for the advice.
