I would use FS-UAE, much newer code.  But that's really odd, depending on which version of kickstart you're using, the NTSC vs PAL shouldn't matter.  Though it may on the older versions.  Personally, I'd probably always just run in PAL, I do on my physical A4000, simply because 90% of all the Amiga games use PAL over NTSC.  

Which version of Linux are you running?

Just enable backports, then install fs-uae through there.

To enable the backports, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add

# wheezy backports
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main non-free contrib

Then run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install -t wheezy-backports fs-uae fs-uae-launcher fs-uae-netplay-server', the last one obviously is for the netplay server, I haven't used this myself.  Probably isn't required if you don't plan on using it.

Hopefully you have some better luck with it.  I know E-UAE hasn't been developed on for years though.

Great to hear.  Yeah, E-UAE just has really not been updated for many many moons.  FS-UAE is built on the more recent WinUAE core, if I recall correctly.
