S15Pup64

S15Pup64 (or S15Pup-64) is a 64-bit edition of Puppy Linux, specifically designed to be lightweight, fast, and binary-compatible with Slackware 15.0 components. It is designed to run efficiently on both older and modern 64 bit hardware.

Base:

Built using Slackware 15.0 packages (SPup).

System Usage:

Like most Puppy distros, S15Pup64 runs entirely from RAM, allowing the boot medium (USB/CD) to be removed after booting.

Release Information:

Available as a 64-bit ISO, often featuring updated kernels (e.g., 6.x series) to support modern hardware.

Desktop Environment:

Typically uses lightweight window managers like JWM (Joe's Window Manager) and Rox-Filer.

Package Management:

Includes the Puppy Package Manager (PPM) to install additional software, compatible with Slackware packages.

File Persistence:

It uses a layered file system. A "frugal" install is standard and changes are saved to a save file/folder on shutdown.

Commonly Used Components:

Rox-Filer: File manager.

JWM: Window manager.

Palemoon/Firefox:

Often the default browser.

Booting Problems:

If S15Pup64 fails to boot, it is sometimes suggested to use Unetbootin for creating a USB install.

Package Management:

Sometimes, the Package Manager may continue to download after installation is complete but it often works regardless.

4-bit Apps on 32-bit S15Pup:

There is a 64-bit compatibility SFS (addon) available to run 64-bit applications on a 32-bit S15Pup installation.
