I think the Atom N270 is a 32-bit processor, no?
that means either no C7, or you will have to use the unofficial 32-bit
build, and I don't know if it is being kept up to date.
also, 3rd-party repositories (epel, et al) aren't offering 32-bit
packages for C7, either, so if you depend on any of them for packages
you really care about (e.g., I can't use gnome-3.x, I use epel's
Mate Desktop packages) you'll be stuck.
