I'm seeing lshw 64 in base for both -6 and -7
lshw.x86_64 B.02.17-4.el6 base
lshw-gui.x86_64 B.02.17-4.el6 base
lshw.x86_64 B.02.17-12.el7 base
lshw-gui.x86_64 B.02.17-12.el7 base
Now that they are doing development on the linux version again, I use
the Adobe repo at:
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
for my flash plugin (on -7).
