Actually i heard a ridiculous claim that they are working on a way to keep you from channel hopping when commercials come on.. right now all i really watch for TV is a handfull of shows on Food Network and HGTV... i just buy everything else on DVD.. saves me the time of trying to tape everything i miss being on a night shift job and no commercials!
WineX is for gaming.. wine is mostly for productivity apps like office and such.. they split the project a while ago.. And as to another reply to this Windows is only good for playing games since linux doesn't have as large a selection of good games yet!
And what's wrong with anime inspired games if they're done well?? there are quite a few americans that fall into the category of 'Otaku' just look at all the anime conventions.. and the japanese seem to be able to create great games from anime (i cite the Gundam games and the Z.O.E. series)
this is not a function of gentoo... i recently ran into another similar problem (PyKDE is not supported on KDE 3.2) but this is a general problem of the open source community.. the different programs, drivers and kernel maintainers would never release anything if they all had to worry about breaking each other's code!
And i have a lot less incidents of this than i used to have using Red Hat's RPM system which completely hosed my system on a regular basis just by installing common packages (samba and evolution come to mind as big culperates in this).
That sounds like my process for old parts.. Whenever i upgrade my Main Gaming/PVR Rig the parts get cycled through my still in the works linux box, then my server then my parent's computer.. Right now i have an AMD Athlon 2500XP, AMD Athlon 1.2ghz, and PII 400 running (parent's have their original PIII550). oh and i just put back together a 486dx100 for classic gaming purposes!!! Oh and that 400mhz proc in my server is probably so under-used as a file/dns server it's rediculous (it runs gentoo linux with only core/bind/ssh/samba on it)
