Well I just tried SL6, CentOS 6, and RHEL 6 and every one of has the 
same pae kernel in them. I guess I will just have to stick with Fedora 
14 on that laptop.

Ever since I have been plying with Linux I don't remember have a Live CD 
or an install CD/DVD wanting a specific kernel, the install would find 
the pae or not in the cpu and install the correct kernel. Is this some 
thing Red Hat is doing because of the dual core and above cpu's now 
days, or is it some conspiracy theory trying to make us all give or 
throw our old PC away and buy new ones.
