Any Linux distribution has some problems, and most still have areas where a little understanding about how things work (in the UNIX sense) is *required*. Instead of upgrading to 6.0, why not try to find people using Linux in your area and exchange ideas/gurus ? I think this is the most effective way of learning Linux. You can even then do a grouped buying of software (when the license permits it). I had no problem installing a quite fast modem PPP/Internet dialup system on 5.2 and 5.3: however I had to change a few things by hand (lock file, crtscts, speed of port, auto-dialing, chat script, etc).
