SL 6.6 > is based on a variant of Fedora 12, which is *ancient*. SL 7.0 is 64bit only, and all my stuff is 32bit. My Thinkpads, both T400s have 64 bit Core 2 Duo processors, but one only had 3gigs/ram, the other just 4, the limit. I did burn/install SL 7.0 and try it out, it was,and is, buggy, according to the SL Forums and the CentOS forums for their version. Plus, it ran like a dog on my laptops. Besides, SL/Centos/RH 6.x is supported until 2020! I have hacked around and have the latest Google Chrome running, all the newest Mozilla stuff, VLC, Skype, and other newest stuff, because I also run the newest kernel, now 3.19.3 which I get from ElRepo kernel updates. So, even though it is based on Fedora 12, I am still up-to-date with all the newest stuff for the next five years!
