Charles,

You are correct, the 1000HD uses a Celeron M 353 which is a 32-bit only 
processor.  SL7 is only available as a 64-bit OS.  You will have to 
stick with SL6 in this case or switch to another distribution that still 
builds for 32-bit.

I'm a bit sour over TUV's choice to drop 32-bit, but you have to roll 
with the punches.
