Today, April 7, 2016, CentOS maintainer Karanbir Singh was happy to announce the general availability of updated CentOS Linux 7 rolling ISO images for the month of March.

CentOS Linux 7 is a rolling release operating system based on the freely distributed sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which means that it's an open-source version of RHEL, maintained by the community, and like many other similar distributions out there, it receives monthly ISO respins.

These new installation medias can be used by those who want to deploy the latest build of the CentOS Linux 7 operating system on new computers without having to fetch all the security patches and software updates released during the previous month.

And today, you can download the new CentOS Linux 7 Build 1603 ISO images, which include all the security patches, bug fixes, and software versions that have been announced during the month of March through the official channels of the operating system.

"I am pleased to announce general availability of the March 2016 snapshot for CentOS Linux. This release includes CentOS Linux 7 iso based install media, Generic Cloud images, Atomic Host, Docker containers, Vagrant images, vendor hosted cloud images," said Karanbir Singh, CentOS maintainer.

Of course, existing CentOS Linux 7 users don't need to download anything to keep their systems up to date. If you're using CentOS 7 and you have the latest updates installed, you're running the current version of the OS, which, for now, remains based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 operating system.

The March update includes CentOS Linux 7 basic 64-bit and 32-bit installation media, Atomic Host images, generic cloud images, Vagrant images, Docker containers, as well as vendor hosted cloud images.
