There were some official (Barryk) 5.3 Precise series beta releases.

There was also this http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80431

Thanks Hogweed. I was aware of the "ov" variant and actually tested it. It was easily identified by the presence of "ov" in the sfs file of the iso. The one I have is clearly Precise 5.3.0 and does not have some of the packages included in "ov".

Probably a beta then. I wonder if the 5.4 devx willsuffice for compiling software as this version is working extremely well on my Acer Aspire laptop.

So the last sentence on the first page of the forum thread ends like this last year:

Nooby:
So either a very innocent way to check that it works
or a CIA way to have total control through Linux?
And then ends with the post as seen above... last year...

What i feel I can not understand what is solved?
