Hi.

About the only thing to consider is to make sure you upgrade when
security fixes are released for packages on your system.  Since you
appear to be using a speakup kernel, you don't need to worry about
upgrades.  The same will be true if you decide to build your own kernel.

Either subscribe to debian-security-announce so you see the
announcements for security fixes, or remember to run

apt-get update&&apt-get -u dist-upgrade

on a regular basis.  This assumes you have the line for
security.debian.org in your sources.list and it is uncommented.

My line looks like
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main non-free contrib

Hope this helps.
          Kenny
