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. :)

> Were your 15.0 and current systems upgraded from 14.2 or fresh installs?

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.
