Note that Princeton linux does have a port of EL7 to i386 (IA-32).
However, you will need to find RPMs or build from source for this platform;
the Princeton list is at:
Repositories
If you are only looking to install some rpms, you can download our
repositories on your system.
* YUM Repositories for PUIAS 6

* YUM Repositories for PUIAS 2

that does not seem to show PUIAS 7.
End Princeton.
I am in a similar, but not identical, situation. I support a number of
laptops with X86-64 processors that are running IA-32 mode environments
(SL 6). These need either to be replaced or to have increased
provisioning (more RAM, larger capacity hard drives) to safely run a
64-bit word length environment. At the present, I do not have any
grant funds that can be used for this purpose; to understand this
situation, my university finds this a low priority; the priority of my
university is to hire more administrators (and staff to support those
administrators), and to engage in expensive eduspeak programs, whilst
ever increasing class sizes and reducing real academic resources.

I was sad to learn that there will not be a 32 bit version of
SL7 / RHEL7 . I run older T60 laptops with 3x4 aspect ratio
screens, and have a stockpile of spares and screens and keyboards
that should last a long time. I dislike "runt screen" AKA wide
screen displays. However, my venerable laptops use 32 bit
processors.
I hope to have enough 3x4 goodness to last as long as I do, and
machines that will keep working for my wife (and her business) who
will likely outlive me. However, Redhat stops providing security
support of the 6 series of distros after 2023. I love the SL
community, and would love to keep upgrading SL distros forever,
and also keep using the old 32 bit machines, but it appears that
I must give up one or the other soon, or deal with some big
changes when I no longer have the ability to adapt to them.
Are there other distros with even longer LTS policies than SL and
RHEL? Is there some way to keep supporting SL6x with security
updates long after RH stops providing them? Some in our community
may have built measurement systems around 32 bit CPUs that must
keep collecting data far into the future - what is the plan?
