The latest release of Puppy Linux, version 5.1, is codenamed "Lucid Puppy" as it is now binary compatible with the packages available for Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx. The announcement and release notes say that because of this compatibility the time now taken to produce "packages that are tested and configured for Lucid Puppy is extremely short". Lucid Puppy can now be downloaded (direct download) as a 130MB Live CD ISO file. Work on Puppy Linux 5.1 has focussed on improving the "lean and fast" distributions user interface, with friendlier dialogues and enhanced graphics, along with upgrading the many packages and tools of the distribution.
