Special Interest Group. http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup
Basically groups who can take the core distro code and modify/rebuild it
to suit their purpose.
In this instance, they're rebuilding to target 32bit hardware. You'll be
able to install on an i686 system assuming you meet the ram needs, etc.
Yes. An actual i386 system hasn't been supported in a number of years
(since el4 maybe? lacking cmov instructions and a load of other fun bits).
