Wine Goes 64-Bit With Wine64 385
G3ckoG33k writes "Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a popular way to run Windows programs on Linux, and it has an impressive compatibility list. After 15 years of development it reached version 1.0 a few months ago. Now, Wine developer Maarten Lankhorst has succeeded in running 'Hello World' in 64-bit, natively! The 64-bit variety is unexpectedly named Wine64."

If WINE were a Microsoft product, this new 64-bit version would be called WINE32 in order to fit in with the revised Windows system-folder naming standard. The 32-bit version would be renamed to WINO64.

I almost forgot about Gentoo. That's probably the best idea of all.
Because of an almost masochistic love for a challenge. I think everyone should at least attempt to role their own kernel and desktop from scratch in an early Slackware type of way. But I think that is just me.

Actually, download Debian netinstall cd(140Mb) and just install standard system(300Mb), by the way it is also an excellent way of building Debian. Then on top of it install the following packages:
apt-get install xserver-xorg kde kdm
And then you gonna get just KDE desktop with no bloat (well, not counting kde). Then install all the packages you really need.
I did my install that way two years ago, but I haven't really cared what packages I've been installing since, so my system is currently pretty bloated (1500+ packages installed) on the upside, I don't really care about it, the only noticeable performance hit - it takes up to two minutes to boot up the system, but then I hibernate it instead of shutting down, and this hasn't bothered me too much to actually sit down and fix the problem.

That was a while ago though. Maybe I will have more success if I try again.

It's really quite simple...
Wine: the thing that lets you run Windows programs...
64: specifies that it runs on the Nintendo 64
