We would like to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 for the 32-bit x86 (i386) architecture.

This is the first major release of the 32 bit x86 by the AltArch Special Interest Group. This release is based on the Source Code from the CentOS 7 (1503) x86_64 architecture and includes all current updates from the main CentOS 7 tree.
