This laptop is a Latitude D400, which I think were made in 2005. It
definitely doesn't have PAE support. I discovered that when I tried to
test Red Hat beta 6 on it. It's okay though, it probably won't last
much longer than CentOS 5 support anyhow. It'll work out fine.

I'm hoping CentOS doesn't fight me when I try to load the proprietary
nVidia driver on the desktop. The only way I could do it in Linux Mint
was to blacklist Nouveau in the Grub boot menu. And Mint/Ubuntu don't
have an easy way to boot into the command line (when you just want to
do it for maintenance, like installing a video driver).
