I know the feeling - I worked for CS during the summer on the NT rollout!
Should have been the Linux rollout :)

If I was you, try and stick to 5.2.  When I did change to 6.0, my machine
spent about a week in a bit of a semi-unusable state.  Maybe 6.1 will be
better, but I dont fancy risking it!  Your best bet is to update the Kernel
to 2.2.10 or later.  (Is the current version 2.2.13 or 2.2.14? - and does it
having anything *new*)
