I have one server in SL 6.1 x64 and another one on Cent OS 5.7 x32.  I 
can not
wait to upgrade the second one to SL 6.x x64

Wine is tragic code.  Little better than Alpha stage.  The developers 
are just overwhelmed with
bugs to fix.  And mostly they only fix bugs dealing with video games.  
But not always.

VLC for Windows does run well under wine, which is unusual.   VLC's 
update function even
works.  Go figure.
