I'd recommend emulators/linux_base-f10. That is the default in V8.0 and Flash10 will work with it on 7.2. Older versions all have issues with sound with older versions and none are being updated, so security vulnerabilities don't get fixed. I am running f10 on my one remaining 7.2 system and everything seems to be working fine. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
