Please note that I installed CentOS 6, just a few months ago, on an HP
Netbook from '09, and it runs perfectly well.

CentOS 6 requires a PAE supporting CPU. Subject referenced Pentium CPU.
Pentiums do not support PAE, and so would not run CentOS 6 without fun and
games and an alternative kernel.
I previously had a Dell X1 with a Pentium M CPU, which also didn't advertise
PAE support, so couldn't run the stock CentOS 6 kernel, which made
installation a little more interesting.
If you're really stubborn, there are options for mashing it on anyway, but I'm
not sure I'd bother. In my case I think I just ran anaconda within C5 to
install C6 onto another LV, put a non-PAE kernel on, then booted into the C6
install.
