Here comes a new edition of Puppy
Linux: "Slacko Puppy". As the name suggests, it is a distribution which
maintains binary compatibility with Slackware Linux and which is
pre-configured to access some of the more popular Slackware package
repositories. From the release notes: "Puppy
Linux 5.3 'Slacko' is a child, or better a pup, of Barry Kauler's Woof
build system. It has binary compatibility with Slackware 13.37 which
means that it is a Puppy built with packages from Slackware, Salix and
Slacky repositories. The main version has kernel 2.6.37.6 compiled with
Aufs and layered file system support. Some new features of Slacko are a
rebuilt GtkDialog, a program which allows Bash scripts to run in GUI. A
showcase of this are Pmusic and Pequalizer, tiny applications to
organise and play your music collection. Slacko Puppy introduces Frisbee
Network Manager to connect wirelessly. There is also Simple Network
Setup and Network Wizard to offer choice." Download: slacko-5.3-MAIN.iso (124MB, MD5).Puppy Linux 5.3.1
Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.3.1, a minor update and bug-fix release of the project's flagship distribution: "Slacko
Puppy Linux 5.3.1 is a bug-fix release of the recent 5.3. It has
binary compatibility with Slackware 13.37, which simply means that it is
a Puppy built with packages from the Slackware, Salix and Slacky
repositories. The main version has kernel 2.6.37.6 compiled with Aufs,
layered file system support, in the typical Puppy manner. There is also a
PAE_HIGHMEM version to cater for machines with large amounts of RAM.
Both ISO images have SCSI boot support. The Seamonkey suite is the
default browser and email suite, but Firefox Aurora, Chromium, Opera,
Netsurf, Iron, Dillo and Links are only a few clicks away. Slickpet is a
cut-down version of Quickpet to get a few handy applications without
diving into the well-stocked Puppy package manager." See the release announcement and release notes for more details. Download: slacko-5.3.1-SCSI-MAIN.iso (126MB, MD5).
