I did test Next yesterday. Very interesting. I was too stupid to get a pet going.

Now back to Lobster thread

Wary 5.1.3 released
Here is a brief announcement:

Wary is our 'flavour' of Puppy that targets older hardware. Version 5.1.3 is mostly bugfixes and minor upgrades to 5.1.2. There have been some significant improvements at the Woof level, such as a close-box on desktop drive icons and faster bootup. New applications: Default Applications Chooser, Urxvtset. New utilities: picscale, pngoverlay, yad. I decided to stay with SeaMonkey 1.1.18, as 2.2 has a badly broken Composer module. Also, 1.1.18 is smaller and better suited to older hardware -- FlashBlock and AddBlock plugins are included to suit those on dialup and download-limited Internet connection. A couple of projects that have been upgraded in Wary and are worthy of special mention: BaCon and gtkdialog. BaCon is a superb BASIC compiler, and gtkdialog provides sophisticated GUIs for shell scripts. Both of these are extremely active projects, with very keen developers and users.

That is what Bary writes in his blog. Go there Lobster gave link.

Wary and Lucid -- these are the ones we list at distrowatch.com and that get promoted as "Puppy Linux". Normally, newcomers would try one of these first.

So, what we have to look forward to in the not-to-distant future is Wary 5.2 and Slacko 5.x "official" Puppy Linux releases. I started Wary at 5.0 as it is fifth-generation, so I suggest Slacko will also start at 5.something

Slacko aka Spup Spot aka Puppy Linux 5.3
