Release Linux Puppy 5.1


Barry Kauler has announced the release of Puppy Linux 5.1 edition of the "Wary", a distribution of GNU / Linux is a small, fast and lightweight and designed for older hardware. "Warry Puppy 5.1 has been released. Wary Puppy Puppy Linux is a variant that targeted support for older hardware, especially video and analog dial-up modem. "

Kernel 2.6.32.28 is used for long-term support. PET package repository remains a small but growing, with many major applications added to it.

Wary Puppy into our ongoing commitment to older hardware. Puppies are built with the latest Linux kernel and X.org may not work properly on older computers. In particular, some analog dialup modem driver will not compile with recent kernels. Another main thing is the old video hardware does not work with the latest X.org driver. Puppies are built with many of the new kernel and X.org, but Wary of a kernel built with "old" and X.org 7.3 so that it can provide better drivers for older hardware. However, Wary is in all other respects in the leading-edge like other Puppies, with new applications, and support for all modern peripherals (printers, scanners, cameras, digital modems, etc.). Wary Woof is also built with the latest, so it has the same infrastructure as other new Puppy.
