Is there any special way to care for tube amps?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy the Peavey ValveKing 112 (http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-ValveKing-112-Combo-Amp?sku=481442) but I've heard some things about tubes going bad and i really know nothing about the tubes in a tube amp. It would be great if someone could explain to me how the tubes work. But more importantly, is there anything i need to do to keep the tubes alive and working well?

Good points in the preceding answer, if you bang it when moving it or have a drive over rough road be sure to check that the tubes are pushed in all the way before turning it on. Put it on standby if you want to leave it on for a while but aren't going to play it.
