Hello. I am new to this concept of remote streaming my music over the web and since Slim Server allows this, my question is how safe is this if I open the port on my PC? Will this leave me open to hackers..etc?
Potentially, yes. Even more annoying might be the casual visitors who are changing your playlists, starting songs in the middle of the night etc.
Would most people suggest not doing it for the vunrebility it might cause to my PC?
You can do it safely if you're using some kind of tunneling or VPN. Search the forums for eg. ssh tunneling.
