My non-PAE-capable IBM T42p Pentium-M laptop is dead ATM from a fan 
failure, but the possibility of a compatible SL6 release might prompt me 
to resurrect it.  Part of the reason I have not bothered to hack the 
hardware is the upstream decision to drop support for non-PAE 32-bit 
systems.

As a matter of principle I heartily endorse the idea.  There is a lot of 
functional hardware out there that does not do PAE, but still has life 
left in it.
