I have thefocus problem using Gentoox. So I use Xebian for the moment. Can I cope with this problem without using a router? Can I install Win 98 GR 2nd edition using Gentoox. Is it full compatible with my XBOx console. Can I install windows software such as winrar, virtual dub etc. Is it fast enough?

I did'nt think there was a focus problem, as long as your on the net. I went through this problem for ages. I'm a dumb ass cos the info is on the gentoox site in tutorials. The info can be a little hard to pick up but alot of the stuff is very simple. Here's a quick tutorial for you to install gentoox with focus support.

Install gentoox.
Log in via ssh (use PUTTY)
Run magic and select a few options.
After around 4 to 10 hours magic will complete.
You now have focus support.
Reboot and run gentoox and all should be well.

I'm only a newbie myself but this sounds good to me. Can one of you pro's tell me if i'm right or wrong.

DOGSMAN is pretty much spot on. I suggest reading the focus tutorial to get all the facts.

On the installing Windows 98 subject,
You can do it but I wouldn't bother. I'd look for programs that run in linux that do what you need.
Rar files can be (de)compressed on linux boxes using rar install by typing emerge rar
I'm not too up on video editing under linux but there are loads of programs in portage. Maybe somebody can suggest a good one?
