Hi Johnny, Thank you for your reply. It seems to me that my message may have came around as offensive but that was not my intend. I have basic understanding how things work and when I said CentOS I actually meant Red Hat and all its derivatives. I asked CentOS community because that's the community I'm member of. Not to say that CentOS is not secure or anything like that. Anyway, I'm stuck with a few 32bit systems exposed to customers and I have to come up with an answer to their question about meltdown/spectre. At this point all I can say is that Red Hat hasn't patched 32bit systems but that is hard to believe so I assumed that I'm wrong and decided to ask the community.
