Hi Killermoehre,

I fired up Scientific Linux 7 (RHEL 7 clone) on my shop computer.
I was very impressed.  Xfce was missing a ton of plugins.  But
I figured that was only a temporary situation.
Unfortunately, I had to tear out SL7 as it is 64 bit only and
although it will run 32 bit apps, it has no support for
32 bit Wine.

If and when there is a 32 bit Wine repo, then SL7 is back on.
Also unfortunately, EPEL, which is where Wine is supported,
is saying "no" to supporting any 32 bit apps.

So ...  (Bummer.)
