If you plan to do a whole lot of graphics/photos and can spare the cash,
it would be worthwhile getting some extra RAM though 256Mb is a fairly
decent amount.

Maintain a seperate partition for the /home directory. That way, when
it's upgrade time, (or when you decide to do a clean install again) your
$HOME will be preserved.
