I'm just glad i didn't have to wipe fbsd to install ubuntu. Yes, at this moment it is not possible to use wine within an amd64 environment, and yes, it is also true that other operating systems support wine/64. There are a lot more i368-only ports. On an exit note : firstly thanks for all the info. Like you also suggested, i am using u-studio for now. on one hand i hate not using fbsd, but on the other hand i have to take baby steps and learn my way around all the new programs to me (non windows/osx). UB-Studio comes with alot of pre-installed programs, and still not all work as expected, they might need some minor thing, but still, as a noob, when such things happen, I can't tell if it is something with the program itself or with the whole OS setup. i think i still have a lot to figure out with fbsd before i can narrow down isuues to an application; and i think my fbsd setup only *just about works* with no frills. Using pcbsd as reference (testing on another drive), i know fbsd is capable of better performance then my current setup on the same machine; how far it can go, i don't know, but i might just take a crash course later this year in programming and start something. someday, someday.
