→ See the previous LTS: Wary Puppy
Precise Puppy is the new Long-Term-Supported release.
UPDATE (March 3, 2013) - New versions of WaryPuppy (for old PCs) and RacyPuppy (for new PCs) have been released - these are "home-grown" Puppies. See the updated Wary and Racy page.
March 10, 2013 - A version 5.5 update of Precise Puppy is now available. Precise Puppy 5.x is a new Puppy compatible with Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04.2+ binary DEB packages (To read about the first Precise Puppy, see the first announcement by Barry Kauler). Precise Puppy will be a Long Term Supported release, following Ubuntu Precise Pangolin's LTS attribute. The kernel remains at 3.2.29 (this has many device drivers) and is PAE-enabled, so only high-RAM PCs may be able to boot Precise Puppy 5.5 (see below for non-PAE build).
Download precise-5.5.iso here or there, size = 167 MB, md5sum = 55b3006e3f43cecc4940471d12c7e308.
Precise Puppy boots directly to a clean graphical desktop - it is optimized for new PCs.

Non-PAE Upup Precise Puppy is being maintained by Pemasu, with the newest build based on kernel 3.82 - download the 168 MB ISO here or get tips and report bugs in the Forum discussion.
For older machines like Pentium II that could not benefit from the high-memory capability of the standard Precise Puppy, get WaryPuppy.
Amazing (for my 2.4 GHz Pentium IV) - I was floored by the speed and multi-tasking ability [that Precise Puppy] offered! Amazing is a lesser word for it!
