2006-10-15 Distribution Release: Puppy Linux 2.11
Puppy Linux has been updated to version 2.11: "Puppy version 2.11 is out. Puppy 2.10 was the first Puppy to use LZMA compression for the ’pup_210.sfs’ Squashfs file (the file that has all of the applications). We found however that it doubled the start-up time for each application, not very noticeable on a modern fast CPU, however very much a problem on older hardware. Thus, for 2.11 we have gone back to the standard GZIP compression. Version 2.11 is basically an improved 2.10. Apart from reverting to GZIP compression, this release has various bug fixes. There is also an ’xorgdrvrs’ ISO that includes the extra X.Org basic video drivers." Read the release announcement and release notes for more information and a complete list of changes. Download: puppy-2.11-seamonkey.iso (70.8MB, MD5), puppy-2.11-seamonkey-xorgdrvrs.iso (73.9MB, MD5).

2006-08-27 Development Release: Puppy Linux 2.10 Alpha
A new development build of Puppy Linux has been released for testing: "Puppy version 2.10 Alpha live CD ISO file is available. This is basically what version 2.10 will be, with bug fixes and some packages upgraded. For example, I expect JWM will be upgraded from 1.7 to 1.8 for the beta release. The kernel is 2.6.16.7, same as Pup 2.02 and will remain that for the 2.10 final. To find out what is in this release, read the Developer Notes in this blog. There are some unannounced things, like ISOMaster, that you will find in the Multimedia menu." More information can be found in the release announcement.
