Hi = ola! :-)

Unless you have a thorough knowledge of the functioning of the operating system, in the case here, Slackware, I think then reinstall the released versions would be better and safer. There are so-called human error and they occur, even if we have the maximum care ...
One thing's for sure! The released versions of Slackware are what most are near perfection, though, I believe, are not perfect ...

Perhaps controversially I have returned to 13.0 and plan on staying there until Slackware 14.0 comes out. 13.1 has not been kind to my intel video chip, despite me spending a lot of time with various workarounds, while performance on 13.0 is rock solid. So I guess another option that could be considered is 'remain with 13.0' :).

I don't tend to update at all, just keep up with security fixes.

I run such astripped down slack, basically just fluxbox, firefox, a few other gui programs and a whole host of development and network stuff that doesn't ship with slack in the first place.

I feel like most of the work put into the updates would not be passed across to me, so I probably won't upgrade until 13.2 or 14.

Em relação ao dito por mim acima deve ser certo para desktop ;em servidores que usam o Slackware o problema deve ser mais complexo já que reinstalar uma nova versão liberada deve requerer uma serie de procedimentos ...O adminstrador da rede saberá escolher o melhor caminho ...

Descupe eu responder a eu mesmo .

Regarding the above said by me must be true for desktop, on servers that use Slackware the problem must be more complex since reinstall a new version released should require a series of procedures ... The network administrator will know how to choose the best path ...

I'm sorry to answer myself.
