Mmmm... looks like I may go for C6, then, since unlike that Ubuntu, I

I went for C6 on a Samsung NC10 (1.6GHz Atom N270 1GB RAM), only because it
refused to boot off the C7 ISO for some reason, and I didn't want to waste
time tracking down why.
Because that is a 32-bit (not 64-bit) processor. There is an AltArch
32-bit CentOS-7 distro as well:
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/
Works like a charm without any fiddling with an alternate DE like I
would have
with C7. I have no complaints.
C6 does also use less resources than CentOS-7, so this might be the best
bet in any event, but I did want to point out an alternative does exist.
Things like EPEL and ElRepo do not exist for the CentOS-7 32-bit distro
either, so the experience is somewhat limited as well.
I might add that NOT using GNOME on a notebook is a big
processor/battery win. I switched to Xfce some years ago.
