Can I upgrade to OS Mavericks without installing OS X Mountain Lion?

Hi, I' currently in OS X Snow Leopard now and I just wanna ask that if OS Mavericks would be available already, can I jump update to it? (meaning even if I don't install Mountain Lion)

Thanks guys! Your answers would be much appreciated. 🙂

Mavericks will be distributed through the Apple Store, just like ML is now. No need to load Lion or ML.

So in layman's term, I can just simply jump from OSX SL to Mavericks, right?

Provided, of course, that your Mac is compliant with the requirements for Mavericks - we don't know what they are yet, but they will be at least those for Mountain Lion which are:

OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space

and the supported models are:

iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
