Puppy Version Index
Versions - Quick guide
There are a lot of different builds of Puppy, giving you many choices and possibilities:
puppy53 Puppy 5.3.1 'Slacko' is our latest Woof 'Woof2' built official Puppy, it is highly Slackware compatible. Recommended for most new users.
Wary Wary 5.3 might be more efficient for older hardware. 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.
Saluki is good for those migrating from Windows, with hardware less than 5 years old, it can be highly and easily customised.
There is a PuppyVersion big list of different Puppy verisions, also see PuppyVersionDevelopment versions under development.
