====Puppy 5.1.1 NOW AVAILABLE====
There are three areas of enhancement to Lucid Puppy 5.1.1. One, it is built with the Woof (Puppy Build System) released on August 22. This has a number of enhancements over the July 10 version used in LP 5.1, including: transmit and receive cumulative totals in the network tray icon, refinements to Smbclinet and smbexplorer, and more support for dial-up modems. Two, the default internal browser has been changed to a splendidly small version of Midori built by Puppy’s technosaurus. Three, there are a number of bugfixes included from Instant Update 003 (for 5.1): provides libjpeg7, laptop function keys, configures Sylpheed email, fixes USB bootflash, links fsck, Arabic and Hebrew fonts, links to libfaad and libx264 for xfce, browser link to Lupu News

{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="Is Puppy Lucid 5.1 based on Ubuntu?"}}
No.
Puppy is his own dog
We have a 'woof' building system
that allows us to build Puppy from the kernel
and binaries of other distros (pre compiled programs and libraries)
Puppy can be built from Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Arch and t2
with unique Puppy scripts, wizards and optimisation.
{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="Does Puppy Lucid 5.1 use some Ubuntu files?"}}
Yes indeed.
Puppy uses his own packaging systems (quickpet and pet)
Configuration and programs are Puppy specific
Lucid adds the tested efforts of some popular Ubuntu binaries.
{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="How should Puppy Lucid be run?"}}
Any which way you like
Once in memory, Puppy is fast whatever the method.
Run from DVD, CD, USB keydrive, SD, Hard Drive
or even in multi-session self auditing format
(files and updates saved on CD or DVD)

Edited on 2010-08-21 02:21:47 by CrustyLobster [moving some questions]

Deletions:

{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="Why does Puppy run as root?"}}
Convenience
Puppy users control their environment.
We are designed to load and run from USB or DVD (straight to desktop)
A root running live CD or DVD system remains MORE secure than
an accessible and hackable hard disk install
We are not designed for multi-user usage.
With great power (over your system) comes great responsibility
(for your data).
Puppy users take charge of their computers.
{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="So technically, Puppy is dangerous?"}}
Very. We bypass network security and firewalls
and are recommended by security agencies as unhackable.
What is on the CD/DVD is never compromised.
With Puppy, comes great power
in a small package
{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="How can Puppy Lucid 5.1 be so small and have so many programs?"}}
We choose simple efficient programs.
Puppy is lean and muscled and compressed and expanded
on the fly.
We would be smaller but other distros
are often not yet as efficient as Puppy
Using Ubuntu files (though convenient) is
a compromise.
{{color fg="black" bg="yellow" text="What about tech support?"}}
Try us.
Puppy users are loyal because our forums, wikis, IRC,
blogs and web sites are constantly updated and improved.
