           Summary: Incorrect distro reported with 16 Dec 2008 Rites of War
                    v1.0 test result
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dasnyderx(a)yahoo.com

The distro version reported on the 16 Dec 2008 test result for <a
href="http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=distribution&iId=674&sAction=view&sTitle=View+Distribution">Rites
of War</a>, Slackeare, is incorrect.  An internet query reports over 8.7
million hits for "slackeare", but (from what I can tell) this is just a
mispelling of 'slackware'.  Firstly, you'll notice that the 'w' and 'e' keys
are next to each other on US-layout keyboards.  So, a mistyped name in this
case has a high possibilty (which I think is the case with 'slackeare'). 
Secondly, the majority hits on the query reference slackware versions (i.e.,
9.1, 10.0, etc.).  Thirdly, distrowatch returns the page for slackware when the
distro name, 'slackeare' is searched for.  Fourthly, the URL given for the
distro is 'http://www.slackware.org', which (while being incorrect and
resolving to nothing) indicates that the distro is 'Slackware'.  Fifthly, the
version reported with this 'distro' is 12.2 is the latest Slackware version and
the test report was made a couple of days after slack 12.2 was released.  And,
finally, there is only 'one' (1) report for this distro.  While I realize there
are other distros with only one test report, I've heard of (most of) the rest
of them (although the 'SoEasyAccounting.comLtd' distro is a new one on me). 
Therefore, I would recommend that either: 1) the distro for this report be
modified to correctly reflect the distro (i.e., Slackware) with the correct URL
(i.e., http://www.slackware.com); or 2) the test report be removed.

Thanks for your time and attention to this matter.
