Although there is no formal corporate structure, Fatdog64 is supported by a dedicated community of developers and users who continuously work on the distribution's development. The main platform for exchange and support is the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum.

The connection to Puppy Linux is historically grown, yet Fatdog64 has developed into an independent distribution over the years. The community is supported through donations and contributions from users, and the main distribution is hosted by ibiblio.org, a non-profit organization that supports a variety of open-source projects.
