   So you've decided to become the teacher and not the student, how rude of   
   you. I don't normally go around correction such trivial things but in   
   your case I will make the exception. When I open my file manager and go   
   to my /home/"folder" and right click I get the option to make a new   
   "folder". No where is the word "directory" mentioned. And in your file   
   manager you have two things folders and files, that makes a symbolic   
   link a file. Now please don't go around correcting people for trivial   
   things it is rude. By the way "Were" is not the word you wanted to use,   
   maybe "where" or "was" is what you wanted to say. Now I'm done being the   
   one who is rude. :)

   You install the current stable(today that would be 15.0) and go to   
   /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and switch to current, done. And like I said, I   
   run old stable, current stable and current. And yes, upgrading current   
   will give you the next stable, I have done both, upgrade install and   
   fresh install, If you want stable a fresh install is the best way to go.   
   And yes 14.2 was upgraded to 15.0, but like I said doing a fresh install   
   is the best way to go.
