Hi..

I'm using slackware 13.37 with openbox. I've configured many things that I would need for now including applications and games among others,except for few things that I was suggested to wait for the slackware 14 release like gimp 2.8.I wanted to know what will happen to my current setup If I upgrade?? Will my applications and games would work? I run some applications and games in wine too. Will there be any problems If I wish to upgrade rather than a clean install? I've configured many things and I don't wish to redo it again.It would take quite a time as I've a tons of applications and games installed now. I wanted to use gimp 2.8 for which I was told to wait for the new release rather than upgrading libraries. So what would be the recommended procedure?

My advise would be to wait for Slackware 14 to be released.

At the root of it you will find a file called UPGRADE.TXT. Just read and follow carefully the instructions in it and you should be OK.

Bear in mind though that you could have to upgrade yourself applications not included in Slackware.
