Revision [14191]
This is an old revision of Puppy53 made by CrustyLobster on 2011-04-19 09:25:06.
What I envision is a stable puppy based on the latest Slackware-13.37 (due any day now) optimised for size and speed which can run on an old clunker (say a p3 600, 256 RAM) and the latest 64 bit arch machines, while supporting a wide range of internal and peripheral hardware Mick Amadio
