I've been running 6.0 on my 1.1GHz Pentium M non-PAE laptop. I basically did
an install using anaconda to install to a directory from within C5, and then
installed a non-PAE kernel (kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.nonpae.i686), grubbed it
up and that works nicely. As a one off that was easier than worrying about
respinning the install media. It'll be documented on list exactly what I did,
I installed that kernel 21st August 2011, so presumably I mailed about it
shortly afterwards.
I have no objections to Redhat dropping support for hardware they're not
interested in, old or new. It's entirely up to them, and I really doubt
they're inconveniencing many customers with this decision.
