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

want to do updates at least every time I get ready for a trip (other
times, it sits in the closet turned off).

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/

I was using the AltArch i386 release.  I put it down to a grumbly BIOS not
liking the ISO I'd put on a USB stick, but couldn't be bothered to sort out a
32bit PXE install.

C6 went on just fine, and given what I'm using the netbook for, wasn't really
a worse option.
