'What is Slacko'?
Puppy 5.3 uses Puppy code and continues the Lucid tradition but uses more efficient Slackware rather than Ubuntu binaries along withthe latest releases of Woof
Slacko uses Puppy scripts, programs and Slackware binaries and we call this an Spup. Spup offers high compatibility with Slackware.
How does this fit in with other Puppy versions?
The latest release versions of Puppy are Wary, Lucid puppy526 Puppy 528 and Racy. Quirky is used to test new ideas from Barry Kauler
Wary is a conservative design for older hardware from Barry Kauler
Dpup (Puppy + Debian) was designated as Puppy 6
currently being developed by Dejan555 and Iguleder
puppy6 Saluki Puppy rewrite is likely to move up to Puppy 7
Puppy 8 is likely to offer x66, ARM and 64 bit versions
and have support for tablet, phone, touch, cloud and Android features
