Slacko Puppy is built from Slackware-14.0 binary TXZ packages, hence has binary compatibility with Slackware and access to the Slackware, Salix and Slacky package repositories. More comprehensive release notes and documentation of known issues are available.

Many Icon and Graphical User Interface improvements throughout the system. Proprietary video driver upgrades available for Nvidia and AMD/ATI graphics for new and legacy cards. Ffmpeg-2.0 and supporting programs including Pmusic and Mplayer. Updated Joe's Window Manager (JWM). Visual and bugfix improvements to the tools to configure JWM. Many other updated programs.

As mentioned above, Slacko 5.7 is available with a choice of LTS kernels; 3.4.82 and 3.10.32. Find more information at the Slacko download page including a brief guide to which kernel is right for you. Lots of puppies... Spup (Slacko) "Spup" is our generic name for puppies built
