Upgrading Slackware installation is a real pain ( actually, I wanted to upgrade my Slackware, thought about it, and installed Debian ). I think they've come up with howto-upgrade-your- Slackware. Have a look at Slackware mirrors, if you're interested. To keep universal balance of things, Slackware has more packages ( I guess because Patrick includes non-GPL-copyrighted software in the distribution ) and there's an ELF distribution of Slackware.
