[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;25539542]most of us are totally capable of installing Gentoo, LFS isn't a far stretch. cooking up an ISO isn't difficult either[/QUOTE]
It just seems like the entire project has died and hasn't really gotten anywhere rather than a shitload of wallpapers.

that's not an issue with us, that's an issue with the effort we're putting forth.
Yeah. Would be neat to see it all pull together.
You could go the old Sabayon route -- make a Portage overlay and call it a distro.
Hell, you only even need one package: "x11-themes/facepunch-wallpapers"
this is true
The biggest question is: who would actually use the facepunch distribution? I'd stick with arch to be honest. The best you could get from me is trying it in a virtual environment.
I'd probably not even use it unless it had a perfect emulation of steam under wine, or some other fancy thing that no other distro has. :colbert:
Suse Studio is brilliant, it is much more than just adding wallpapers and themes
Slax has the same thing mate.

Not gonna happen even if we could (and wanted to) make such improvements to WINE because of its license (which is a good thing)

:what:
Seriously though, I can only think of one good thing; virus protection or something like it. I sense incoming boxes, however.

As long as you don't run wine as root the risks are minimal. The only thing that'd get infected is your fake C drive.

Even if you are running it as root, then how would it infect anything besides the fake C?......unless it edits hardware settings, but that's probably not going to happen, so I don't see it as a security risk.

If wine was run as root and the virus was engineered to attack a vulnerability in wine it could get root control of the machine, etc. Of course this is all very unlikely but it's still a possibility.

Wait.....how could you target Wine if its only a compatibility layer, or like a virtual windows almost?

I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of wine but I'd rather assume it's possible than have a nasty surprise in the future.
