32 bit vs 64 bit advice requested

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I am running Scientific Linux 6.2 (RHEL 6.2 clone) 64 bit. My version of Wine is:

$ rpm -qa \*wine-core\*
wine-core-1.2.3-1.el6.x86_64
wine-core-1.2.3-1.el6.i686

Really out of date. Huh?

In order to test out any of the bugs I have posted, I need RPMs of the latest Wine. There are available by Dag Wieers at
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/wine/

Problem. Dag's RPMs are all 32 bit.

I do not run any 64 Windows apps (are there even any?). Is there any reason why I should not remove my x86_64 wine and install Dag's 32 Wine RPMs?

Your advice appreciated.

Many thanks,
-T

There's no reason to install 64 bit wine if you are not using any 64
bit windows app.
