### Flavors of Pure Data
There are three maintained distributions of Pure Data:
1. Purr Data. This is the 2.0 version of Pd-l2ork. It ships with lots of
external libraries and uses a modern GUI written using HTML5.
2. Pd-L2Ork 1.0, the version used by Ivica Bukvic for his laptop orchestra.
Pd-l2ork 1.0 uses tcl/tk (and tkpath) for the GUI. You can find it
[here](http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/make-your-own-l2ork/software/)
3. Pure Data "Vanilla". Miller Puckette's personal version which he hosts on
his website and maintains. It doesn't come with external libraries
pre-installed, but it does include an interface you can use to search
and install external libraries maintained and packaged by other developers.
