PUPPY Geneology
Legacy OS (formerly TEENpup Linux) is a distribution based on Puppy Linux. Although the original concept was to create a flavour of Puppy Linux with more applications and a more appealing desktop aimed at teenage users, Legacy OS has now grown to become a general purpose distribution. It comes with a large number of applications, browser plugins and media codecs as standard software. Despite these enhancements Legacy OS is still perfectly suitable for installation on older and low-resource computers, as well as modern hardware.
(Compatible with Slackware 12 )
(Built with T2 SDE. No longer slackware ompatible )
Puppy 4 works well on a wide range of computers and may perform better than Puppy 5 on older computers.
It was released as an SFS, a standard package extension format used by Puppy Linux.
The SFS came with additional software for use with the (then) recently released Puppy Dingo (Puppy Linux 4.0).
Fatdog64 is a small yet versatile 64-bit multi-user Linux distribution.
(Based on the "WOOF" project which includes binaries from Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, T2 SDE, Arch )
Barry Kauler, the founder of Puppy Linux and Woof, created Quirky as an avenue to explore the latest ideas.
There may be some features in this distro that you won't find in other puppies, either different applications and utilities, different system scripts/behaviour, or even some fundamentally new underlying behaviour.
This is very much a moving target. Some of the ideas may be a bit strange, hence the name "Quirky"!
For newer computers. It features the 3.2.33 (4g) and 3.4.17 (PAE) linux kernels.
Designed with for older hardware and Long Term Support .
Racy puppy, our "Wary on steroids".
Basically, if you are asking whether to use Wary or Racy, the former is intended for older computers, especially uniprocessor CPUs and for those who still access the Internet by analog dialup modem.
As to choosing between Racy, Slacko, Lucid, etc., that is up to you...
Precise Puppy is compatible with Ubuntu Precise binaries.
