A 32-bit kernel on a legacy (or even new) system in 2017 will still
need

Quoted 3 lines

regular kernel updates (not \"long term\" un0maintained kernels) in order to work with new USB devices, new 4KB+ sector hard drives, newer generations of SSDs, etc..

12-years-old machine is trash. If someone can buy e.g. new hard drive,
