Good thing, starting with slim on unix/linux/*bsd

Practice safe computing. Have it behind firewalls, preferably
several levels if you have something like 
wild internet <-> dmz firewall <-> web servers <-> house firewall nat <>
house

use all the usual stuff, strong passwords, run the slimserver in a
separate account with minimal privs, close all unneeded tcp/udp ports,
ban telnet, use ssh

Get any book on unix/linux security and do the smart things.

Since the SlimServer is a user program, it is not a major worry.
