You will find that at the stage of upgrading Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 that some of your modules will cease to work. This is because modules must be developed to work with Drupal 6 due to changes within the Drupal API for each new release. If this happens then you will need to first check to see if there is a Drupal 6 release for the modules that you have installed by visiting the Drupal modules page.
If it exist then download the module and install it. Otherwise, you may help out and start porting the module so it will run on drupal 6. This isn't too difficult of a task, thanks to the core developers that have made it easier than before. Read more about Porting Drupal 5 modules

I thought i'll share this with some Joomla users that maybe be interested if they hadn't seen it yet. Read more about Porting a Joomla template to Drupal
