Stable IOS for GNS3

What 7200 platform IOS images have you found to be the most stable in GNS3? I've been experimenting but haven't found the right one yet.

I've never had any issue with any of the 7200 IOS I've run on there. Currently 12.2(33)SRC4.

72X and 36X run like a charm. Any 26XX are buggy if you start enabling routing protocols on them. Would also highly recommend running them under Linux flavor OS.

Never had any problem using the following 7200 series ios:

c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33

Try to keep clear of the 2600 IOS.

I used to have a Fedora box that I had GNS3 on but right now I don't have it installed on any linux platfoms. I need to get it back up and going...GNS3 on windows is convenient but not nearly as powerful given the same hardware.
