There is a great deal of discussion going on about which distribution is most ideal for the desktop, with people taking different sides. If you ask me, Knoppix scores over other distros when it comes to installing Linux on old machines. Let me elaborate on how I reached this conclusion.

I had to bite my lip as I started reading the header/title for this piece. "Oh Gosh, another fan-boi piece." (of course, it's never a fan-boi stunt when I rave about a distro). Then I got to the qualifier in the title and all was well again. The golden phrase?
Linux on old machines.
Just HAD to read the piece then and yep...no foul here. Aside from what I consider to be a Carnie-on-acid experience with the normal Knoppix desktop, I have to give props to the author. It does just seem to boot and work when others do not (to ahem, include my distro of choice)
