Slacko Puppy 8.0?

Post by yolhurt »

Is a mainline Slacko Puppy 8.0 on its way anytime soon?

I like 01micko's Slacko releases and am interested to know if he'll be releasing another one (shortly or ever again).

Thanks.

I say no by 01micko.

Maybe someone else will do it.

There is this one:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=2893

01micko seems to spend all his time working on Woof-CE the Puppy builder.

S15Pup 64bit and 32bit is the latest Puppy version based on Slackware.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

There was mention by a newbie of having a Slacko 8.3. But I think that was a scribner's error. Searching this forum, https://rockedge.org/psearch/ and general googling only reveals posts on that thread.

A new Slacko (hence 8) would either be binary compatible to Slackware 15 or Slackware-Current, designated ScPup64. Bigpup has pointed out peebee's recent build, S15, which is binary compatible with Slackware 15. peebee has also published a Slacko which is binary compatible with Slackware-Current, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=554#p554. Both are very capable Puppys and both employ the ptheming GUI developed by 01micko.

If you prefer a different Window manager, I know ScPup64 can --and think S15 can-- use the those published by peebee. You'll find them in this Section. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewforum.php?f=95. Or you can start with LxScPup64 directly, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=552#p552

For a very advanced Slackware-based Puppy employing the xfce desktop mistfire has published Quickpup, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 469#p27469. It's a remaster of ScPup64.

And there are other 'slackos' and '32-bit slackos'. All of which have come into existence because of the time 01micko spends working on 'woof -the Puppy Builder'.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm going to try out some of the Puppys mentioned.
