CentOS 6 was not really intended for slower systems, none of the newer distros are. CentOS 6 kernel for example does not support 586 CPU's.
I'd like to know where you read that because I'm looking at putting CentOS 6 onto a couple of lower end boxes, specifically a P3-800(mobile) and an older VIA EPIA, which are fully supported in CentOS 5.
Generally, when you develop any app, you add more and more features and you need more powerful hardware to run at the same speed.
And then there's the nothing-but-eye-candy, and the "we'll just change something, because that look is *so* last year" (like the assinine M$ "ribbon" replacing menu bars....).
Fedora 12-15 for example need more space on boot partition (500MB is I am not mistaken) and CentOS5/Fedora6 only needed <100MB.
250M works. <snip> mark
