Security updates can be automated just like with Redhat's up2date using 
a 3rd party package called swaret. Swaret is actually included in the 
very soon to be released Salckware 9.1 in the "extra" collection of 
packages.

You can download the iso for 9.0 or the 9.1 rc1 (soon to be 9.1) from 
the list of mirrors on slackware.com
