OK, so there are modern 32-bit Puppys, but unfortunately, they don't run on old hardware. They are too big to be used with limited RAM, and even if they could boot, they need more RAM to run well. They are also built using woofCE.
The EasyPup_2.3.3 is 64-bit, built with woofQ - not woofCE. If EasyPup had been an official Puppy release, it would have massive downloads, and tons of users. In that regard it is treated somwhat like josejp2424's contributions, and may live an anonymous life in the shadow of the official Puppys. As I wrote, it doesn't even have it's own sub-forum here. You'll find the EasyPup here:

Is the difference so important between woofCE and woofQ?

Will the Puppy community somekind return to woof from BK also woofQ? Will that make the matter better (lot of members of the community did claim about woofCE, about it's separate way to inform the rest of the community or difficulty to accede to the information (is woofCE documented for beginners)?

and else if you use woofCE, josejp2424 did do that in his builds and explicit inform us about hat, the fruit of the work is some kind contested...

the main power of the old Puppy's from Barry where the documentation: He did always help his community to make her able to do the same as he himself did :thumbup2: (thank you Barry for all the rich literature and information about the build of good Puppy distros).

perhaps we have to much lines of different puppy's, puppy-derivates and puppy-like's and nobody any more to maintain the central information (can a discussions forum be the exclusive source of information or about). What happen at puppylinux.com as well as at the wikki?
