Quick guide
There are a lot of choices and possibilities within Puppy:
Our latest Woof 'Woof2' built official puppy53 Puppy 5.3.1 'Slacko' is out and highly Slackware compatible. Recommended for most new users.
Slacko is not compatible with Woof1 built Puppy526 Lucid our recommended Puppy for the last two years. Many utilities from Lucid are available for Slacko in the LupufySlacko package.
Clean installs are recommended for new Puppy versions.
For older hardware Wary Wary 5.3 might be more efficient. Puppy Wary is compiled in Puppy using a mature kernel.
Racy Racy 5.3 combines Wary and the up to date 3.04 Linux kernel.
Unique configurations of Puppy (puplets) exist. For those migrating from Windows on hardware less than 5 years old and wishing to highly and easily customise, try Saluki.
Long Term Support
Developing
5.2.2.8 is recommended for language translators. Important bug fixes and enhancements for better and more complete translation.
Run MoManager and review translations, also you might find more to do in the 'doc_strings' category.
