After a clean install of Slackware64-15.0 there's not too many updates to install. I suggest a clean install of 15.0 then update it via slackpkg.

Several distributions, including the one I maintain, offer to install from a mirror packages updated since the publication of the ISO, but I don't know if any publish a new ISO after every package update.

I'm new, so this may be a dumb question, but why not include a light simple version of Slackware for beginners. Have it just have a limited number of programs that a high school or college student would use. Have it automate change to generic kernel. Call it Slackware on training wheels.
I've tried Salix and absolute linux. They're all good, but they are highly modified from slackware, they don't use slackpkg and slackbuids, even done manually don't always work.
Sometimes you just have to get work done and you don't have the time to do a ton of reading.
Lightly modified Slackware. But it's 100% Slackware.
I know a lot of people who want to use Slackware but are very time limited. This light distro would ease them into Slackware.
Just a thought.

I've always downloaded unofficial iso-s from slackware.no
Alien slackware live could also suit you. I'm currently running a slackware 15 version which got installed from the live version - it is still a genuine slackware.

slackware-live-edition - there's a live version based on current also available.

It's a gem.
