Thanks for the interest, Boris!  I appreciate the response.

As I mentioned, this is a "pet" slackware box.  By that I mean it's a
learning adventure.  I haven't started upgrading it since 2005, up until
a couple of weeks ago when I started upgrading from Slack 10 to 10.1 to
10.2 to 11.0.  As a learning experience.  To catch up with Linux after
nearly a decade being away.  Sort of.  So how better to "catch up" than
to upgrade through each revision and look at how far Linux has come.
