Each major release has matching PETs and SFSs. Go to   Fatdog64's website   for a quick start.
    
      
    
The Linux kernel is always the cutting-edge version at the time of release and the window manager is Openbox /LXPanel. Fatdog has always included the latest Firefox, GIMP (image editor), and KINO (video editor). Its default wallpaper started with the classic Seagull that was with Puppy Linux version 1. Fatdog may be traditional in looks but it is bleeding-edge in content!
    
Download the newest ISO from   ibiblio (click here to open the ISO folder)   - note that the most recent build uses the highest version number. Additional packages like PETs are installed from the package manager, while SFS can be downloaded from   here   - to use SFS, copy to /mnt/home and reboot (this assumes that you are already using a save file).   Read here   about the SFS.
