CentOS 7 32 bit virtualbox client

32bit CentOS 7 was released on 10/15/2015

The download is available here
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

When creating virtualbox client, the default configurations are not sufficient.

Create Virtual Machine:
- Linex and Other Linux(32-bit)

Settings
- System->Processor->Enable PAE/NX
- Network->Advanced->Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (8254OEM)

CentOS 7 i386 by default won't recognize the default virtualbox network device.  This is from the 3.10 kernel taken by CentOS 7

For development on CentOS, the following line will install compiler/linker packages.
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
