What is Knoppix?
Knoppix is an operating system based on Debian designed to be run directly from a CD / DVD (Live CD) or a USB key (Live USB), one of the first of its kind for any operating system. When starting a program, it is loaded from the removable medium and decompressed into a RAM drive. The decompression is transparent and on-the-fly. Although Knoppix is primarily designed to be used as a Live CD, it can also be installed on a hard disk like a typical operating system. Computers that support booting from USB devices can load Knoppix from a live USB flash drive or memory card. There are two main editions of Knoppix: the traditional Compact Disc (700 megabytes) edition and the DVD (4.7 gigabytes) "Maxi" edition. Each of these main editions has two language-specific editions: English and German. Knoppix mostly consists of free and open source software, but also includes proprietary software

Comments and Reviews
Said about Knoppix as an alternative
Knoppix is not dedicated to rescue like SystemRescueCD; Knoppix is more general-purpose. Among its many uses it can serve well as a rescue disk.
