Most ports can run with linux-base-6. Personally I have made better
experience with linux-base-6.

AFAIK linux-base-6 represents a RedHat 6.2 system, while linux-base-7 is
RedHat 7.x.

I've not been able to run acroread or sybase-11.0.3 with linux-base-7.
With version 6 I've had no problems.

I'd continue to run linux-base-6.
