Hey, thanks for the review, very nicely written!

I'm sorry you had trouble with playonlinux, but as you can read in the startup guide, Sourcery is just a tool we provide for accessing slackbuilds.org. We are not actually responsible and we cannot fix any problems you might get with that ourselves. The only thing we can do is just report it to the respective maintainer of slackbuilds.org, just like everybody else and just hope they fix any problems that occur. That said, in this case, if you were trying to install playonlinux on a 64bit system, it simply wouldn't work anyway, because it needs wine, which in turn only works in 32bits. And in Slackware (and hence in Salix) if you want to use 32bit software under a 64bit system, you need to install multilib. Which we don't actually support, but any user can certainly do whatever he likes on his system.

If you have any more questions feel free to post them here. Thanks again for the review! :)
