[May 18,] on the final day of my short holiday (of sorts), I prepped and released version 1.0.0 of my liveslak project. It is stable and the bugs that were reported (plus some more) have been taken care of.
The "1.0.0" marker is not the end of its development, of course. It means that I consider the project production-ready. It will be used to create Live Editions of Slackware 14.2 (64bit and 32bit) when that is released. There's still some more ideas for liveslak that I want to implement and those will become available as 1.x releases.
For demonstration purposes, I have generated a new set of ISO images using liveslak version 1.0.0. There are ISO images for a full Slackware (64bit and 32bit versions), 64bit Plasma5 and MATE variants, and the 700MB small XFCE variant (also 64bit). They are based on Slackware-current dated "Thu May 12 01:50:21 UTC 2016".
[...] I will re-write [the original blog post] into a landing page for anyone who is interested in a Live Edition of Slackware. [...] All previous articles about the liveslak project aka Slackware Live Edition are accessible through this shortcut link, by the way [links to changelogs].

Arch is really very easy, and surprisingly stable for something that has a reputation for being bleeding-edge. I use it on my personal machine specifically because it's both easy and completely bloat-free (and because Gentoo on a mobile Core 2 Duo is made of pain). Try it.
That incantation, by the way, is "pacstrap /mnt xorg xorg-xinit xfce4 lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter" during the install phase :)
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
