New Racy Puppy

April 5, 2012 - Racy Puppy has been updated to version 5.3. It is Wary with new Xorg 7.6 and kernel 3.0.25 - a version of Wary enhanced to run on new PCs, see the announcement by Barry Kauler. There is now greater support for internationalization, and lots of bugs have been fixed. Language "langpacks" are now available with included translations for both the system and applications.

Download racy-5.3.iso here or there, size = 112.8 MB, md5sum = 5e2775f136be67a71ff2dc2835ae7a39 (it is smaller than Wary because it lacks dial-up modem drivers).

Racy boots directly to graphical desktop - it can use the full potential of graphics devices and has new device drivers for new PCs.

Read more about Racy Puppy 5.3, visit the forum discussion, or check for updates by searching for "racy" in Barry's blog.

NOTE: If you can't boot Racy, then try Wary - it also has dial-up modem drivers (not included in Racy).

ShepherdPup - Third Anniversary Edition

UPDATE: 07/024/11 Now based on Wary 5.1.2

I am pleased to publicly announce the release of our latest version of ShepherdPup Linux (Forum).

This third anniversary edition of ShepherdPup Linux is a self contained freely distributable derivative of Puppy Linux featuring the all new pBiblx2 - Field Wise Bible System (Forum) complete with the many Christian resource materials that we are currently using and developing in our own daily ministries. It is an excellent starting point for you to add your own personal additions as well. (Think "Bible Server Seed")

From its very conception, ShepherdPup has been developed to stand out from other bible software by following this simple motto "It's meant to be given". This new edition takes the concept of bible sharing to even greater depths. You are welcome to use and modify it as your outreach efforts in the Lord see fit.

More details and a functional on line "live demo" of the pBiblx2 CGI is available at:
ShepherdPupLinux.US
