I would have answered "CentOS 7 on armhfp board" but your last
requirement is the one I'm not sure about : PXE boot

But it seems possible :
http://linux-sunxi.org/How_to_boot_the_A10_or_A20_over_the_network

Never tried that, but it seems that you still need to at least have
uboot on a microSD, as embedded firmware on such low cost armhfp boards
have zero features for this

Now if someone has interest in this , why not test it and report that on
the dedicated "CentOS armhfp" wiki page ?
