Now that Slackware 11.0 is out, you may wonder what is the best way to update the distribution. Swaret is an open source project that aims to keep various versions of Slackware up-to-date. I use Swaret and some cron scripts to keep my servers current automatically.
Be aware that this will install all the update packages automatically, whether you want them or not.
If there is a worse way to upgrade from 10.2 to 11.0, I'm not sure aware of it. Swaret is hands down the easiest way to bork your Slackware install. The Changelog is there for a reason folks.
