About putting Linux on old machines. That is fine if you have a use for those, else they will just gather dust. If you want to test Linux setup a dual boot and try to replicate stuff you do in Windows on Linux. Switching OSes is not something that should be done over night.

Puppy Linux is good for old machine even in low ram, fast and no slowdowns, but the downside is that all users are running in Root. You can use bootable usb for that.

My point was about people that wish to test Linux for desktop use. If you want to give it a fair chance, you should install it on the same machine you have windows on.

Even if your old computer once ran Windows, then you don't need Linux for it. Just saying.
