Hi, 
	you could start on slackware-current as it will pretty close to
11 right now. See 
http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-current/
for release notes etc...
there are some differences between 10.2 and 11 and they are already
refelcted as AFAIK in slackware-current.

I have a DViCO Dual Digital running right now on 10.2, and on another 
partition have just started to install myth on current. It recognizes
the card with kernel 2.6.17.13 out of the box and kaffiene 0.8.2 
works perfectly, though i have yet to install myth and its 
dependencies. But at this stage i do not anticipate any problems,
though i'm not sure about mysql5.

On another m/c, which i use for my main tv watching/recording
i have a dualboot KnoppMyth and MythDora partitions for a 
Hauppauge pvr250/350 installation which runs very well. I intend
to create a new partition using slackware-current, when i get
some time.

i'll watch out for any posts,
