not "everything"... custom install and I selected some packages, but not all of them or the "everything" option at the bottom.

Was it hard getting Wine to work correctly? I am interested in running Wine in order to setup a bulletproof ftp server (Which I like a lot) and some additional windows applications.

I only tried to get kazaa lite running so far, but it wasn't very difficult. I don't know why you'd run an ftp server through wine though, there are plenty of FTP servers that run natively in linux.

Yea but those are all daemons, command line driven and overall very hard to setup/use. Therefore, I prefer the windows based FTP servers with GUI.

What is going to be harder? Learning how to configure wine, or learning to configure an FTP server? Assuming equal difficulty, you're going to end up with much better performance out of the native linux server.
