Hi there!

CentOS 2 is rather deprecated at this point-- what I'd suggest doing 
just for support reasons if nothing else is repurposing an old desktop 
(unless you've got a tremendous number of boxes to monitor) and running 
it there. I do suspect you'll find that getting support for "oddities" 
is MUCH better on the i386 platform.

As an aside, we used to build around CentOS 4.4, and had severe issues 
with how outdated packages were, with regard to security updates. Made 
the switch to FreeBSD and haven't looked back since, but that's enough 
advocacy for one post. :-)
