@runtt21
"widespread usage" is of course a very vague term. What I'm trying to get at is listing versions which hasn't been superseded by bugfix versions-
for example 5.10 is truly superseded by 5.11 as they are very similar and 5.11 has many bugfixs
does 5.25 supersede 5.11 though? or have features been altered too much?

The Puppy 2 page needs help! http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy2
Can anyone add a description of the differences between 2.14R 2.14X and 2.17?

as to whether 511 is superceded by 520/525 my guideline is whether or not a cd update between versions break things.
this is the main thing to avoid between version numbers
even bugfix releases can behave badly

Hello darkcity,
Legacy OS 2 built on Puppy 2.14 from early 2007
TEENpup 2011 Mini will be built on Puppy 4.21 from mid 2009. It was going to be called Legacy OS 4 Mini but time and desire not to rebrand all the apps means it will stick with the TEENpup name for this upcoming release.
(TEENpup 2011 Mini is an update of TEENpup 2010 Mini beta released in Feb 2010.)
Visit the link and have a read. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LegacyOS

Awesome work darkcity. Huge job.
One thing I have always wished for is some kind of database/grid that lists available Live CDs plotted against hardware they run perfectly on.
eg: It'd be neat to look up say, "Puppy Cielo Wary 5" and see that a Toshiba TE2100 is listed as running happily on that live CD.
Very useful for people like me who are trying to get retired pensioners on the net via Puppy, and who want out-of-the-box solutions that run perfectly from a fresh boot on a machine that has dhcp router access to the net.
Nothing for the user to know/do/understand. Just boot from live CD and go.
I guess this would be most useful for laptops as they tend to have more standard configurations than other forms of PC.
I'm trying to build up my own list of laptop versus live CD but it'll be a long while before i can work out how to present it on a webpage.
Within your list it is really helpful if a developer can maybe suggest what machine they were originally targeting that particular release for.
Very hard to represent such three-dimensional information on a two-dimensional webpage. I need a 3-D computer

PuppEX 2012 Subject description: A remaster of Puppy Linux Slacko 5.3.1 |
|
Quote: | PuppEX 2012 is a remaster of Puppy Linux Slacko 5.3.1, released on December 12, 2011. Kernel 2.6.37.6 is used when running the system live, but if you install PuppEX to hard disk, you can use “my” own compiled kernel 3.1.5-puppex instead. PuppEX 2012 uses, like the original Puppy Slacko, JVM, Fvwm95 and IceWM as desktop interface. In PuppEX there are, however, elements of LXDE, such as the file manager PCManFM and LXTerminal. These programs are more useful than ROX-Filer respectively RXVT, I think. The ISO file is on the whole 405 MB, which is due to me including all the necessary additions in order to install programs from source, the extra kernel 3.1.5, Vlc, Gimp and NVIDIA’s own graphics driver 285.05.09. Slacko 5.3.1 is only of 126 MB. PuppEX is despite this still running as fast as the original, which means it runs very, very fast compared to most other Linux systems.
Kernel 3.1.5 is the latest available stable kernel (as of 111215).
Kernel with support for almost anything
If you have a new or/and unusual hardware you should try PuppEX. This is because the system when installed to harddisk can use kernel 3.1.5 with support for “all forms of” now used hardware.

I have not used any of these remastered live cds yet that Exton has made yet. I just found his site by moseying around the net and after a pm with o1micko. I figured I'd post the info here and will also post this info at puppylinux.info forum site also. Other remastered isos include

Excellent project.
I didn't see RacyNop in the list. Perhaps I missed it.

darkcity I have a similar page but not as comprehensive as your and is for a different purpose.
Mine is designed as a one stop shop rather than to provide information.
It's a bitch keeping it up to date with the fast pace the devs are working at.
http://www.smokey01.com/menu/iso.html
or
http://www.smokey01.com/menu/
Then click in the ISO icon.
