"Guest columnist Howard Fosdick has previously used Puppy Linux to successfully revive 'mature' PCs. Now, he takes a broader, deeper look at the parsimonious distribution and its potential value on normal desktop PCs, covering its features, flexibility, capability to peacefully coexist with Windows, ease of use, and limitations."

I may be over my head here, but I think what they have done is make Puppy "compatible" with Slackware 12 packages. They made sure that certain versions of important libraries were compatible. The actual OS is not based on Slack, just many Slak 12 packages can be installed (I wouldn't think all could).
