bonus added 11/13/14: p5741
have as yet been unable to address this (the lower, actually) issue particularly well, but the upgrade from p573 to p574 sees the installation of service pack 1/p573_-573.1.tar.xz, debbi.pet (rcrsn51), and spacefm 0.9.4 (ASRI and cimarron). fixed some oversights, cleaned up some mess, made a bit of an effort to make it more user friendly (geany pops up with a readme that links back to this place instead of a somewhat off-putting and random howto for geany plugins. you also get two blanks for notes and scrap and can always change the files that greet you from the default settings-set to whatever you like. a terminal and text editor are great once you get used to them, but the latter will stop popping up at start up if you drag the "gny" file in /root/Startup to the quar (quarantine) folder that's there. terminal is easily called by shift+spacebar...). there are two new scripts in root--one calls the various readmes from /root/my-applications/bin, which hopefully explains some of the modifications and features new to this spin of precise. it's largely screen and file navigation stuff, menus and shortcut keys. it's a very easily customizable set up, and that, along with word processing, is a somewhat guiding focus of the project. a platform to do anything you might call upon a computer for, one that is fast, reliable, and --nifty. well, puppy in general is pretty nifty. the other script calls some useful rox folders (usr/share/applications, /mnt, .../my-applications,...), partview, lxtask, and htop. call it "spec" and drag it to /root/my-applications/bin and you've got a quick way to access and get on top of things. i recommend getting used to writing scriptlets. they're handy little time savers...or a video game of sorts.
anyway, p574-L adds an nvidia driver (OscarTalks) to the previously discussed changes. logo reads p574, sfs reads 572. as before, for a devx for 573, rename the one from 571 572. distro will update previously installed precise installations, although almost certainly after having asked for permission and received it. be sure you wouldn't really rather have a a fresh installation (recommended) if you go that route.

p573 and p573-L, two spins/updates of Precise 5.7.1/5.7.2
158 and 454 mb respectively (service pack#1 Nov. 7, 2014)
p573-L
p573
***
they start as precise 5.7.1 patched to 5.7.2, which gives them save folder functionality, fixes the bash problem, and updates the sfs load program to shinobar's latest (2.3). i replaced the unstable abiword with ted, even though you could get formatted text from notecase and just use google docs to turn it into odt, doc, docx, etc. i left in sea monkey for similar reasons and because of Barry Kauler's affinity for it. also removed were osmo, planner, rubix, and emeraldia or whatever it was called. p573 adds the following:

i felt it was important to give each version recoll--i know of no other way to search the content of doc, docx or odt files. you may be able to upgrade to 1.6, but the 1.3 does the same and appears to be the most reliable. you can get back the stock puppy feel by deleting the jmrc.personal file and renaming/restoring the original in that folder. these distros have 10 root menus and a great number of shortcut keys and custom menus. see this threadfor more on customizing jwm/taking fuller advantage of rox (the linked post shows a shot of the taskbar elements broken up and the ten menu buttons. for this release i kept things off the right side as i figured top placements would be more universal--the top is always the top but the right side can be any number of pixels away...).
anyway, they appear to work well. please try them out and report any bugs, though there should be relatively few--5.7.1's been up for a while and anything that works well on it should work well on these.
i used woofy and the built-in script for the remaster, plus there was a lot of decompressing-recompressing (Parchive and UExtract) to get the size down and fix little errors.
both versions have the most recent geany (1.24-4--thanks again, slavvo67!) with some extra plug-ins installed. the required dictionary for the (us-en) spell check is included in both, the larger one additionally includes java, qt, LibreOffice4.3.3.2, ardour, VLC, goldendict, dropbox, and wine. and a drum machine. and sooperlooper. they seem equally fast on a machine with 2 gig of ram.
for a devx for 573, rename the one from 571 572.
more on customization and user interface changes later, but quickly, the 1[-0]c|a|r| toolbar/taskbar that pops up at hover on the upper left are the screen representation of the 10 menu buttons (which could just as easily be shortcut keys, and in fact are--check out jwmrc-personal in /root/.jwm to see some/some you'd like to perhaps change into something else), which you can change by clicking the main menu (3 and the little dog) item that used to be "help."--it will open up the root menus (and a bunch of other config files) in geany. you could also edit them by opening them individually--they're all in root. the c-a-r part at the end are three individual buttons: close all current instances of the active program on the current desktop, close all instances of the active program on all desktops, and close all rox windows on the current desktop. you can give them pretty (or at least existent) icons by adding icon="" and the path of any image of your choice to the appropriate taskbar file.
enjoy.
edit: recoll 1.6 works fine, but install the upgrade pet BEFORE you index your files or you'll have to redo it. once your files are indexed, search results are instant. i had given up on searchmonkey in 5.5 and 5.6, but it works well in 5.7._., though i'm not sure if it's any better than the built-in pfind (recently updated--see service pack below) as it would also require your docx, odt, and doc files to be converted to rtf or txt to be searchable. recoll is indeed the way to go for this...
edit2: i continue to have mixed results with upgrading to recoll 1.6 and recommend sticking with muggins' 1.13.
edit 3: upload of flawed p574 rectified.
