Just want to verify: CentOS 5's FS utilities are too old to safely resize a *live* (mounted, etc.) root file system (and the CentOS 5 installer/rescue system does not include either resize2fs or fsadm utilities).
I don't know of _any_ filesystem that supports live shrinking. Live expansion, yes. Live shrinking, no. The C5 install/rescue CD and DVD do include resize2fs.
I'm *hoping* Ubuntu's 32-bit installer can deal with a non-PAE 32-bit system).
Ubuntu is _not_ one of the few distributions that still support non-PAE 32-bit. From what I can find, Lubuntu and Xubuntu 12.04 were the last versions to support non-PAE. Sorry.
