Hi DHesse.
I just completed the upgrade from 5.5 to 6 and it was unusually painless. I am now pushing the new client down to my remote workstations and so far the only anomalies I have encountered is the new GW shortcut icon is placed on the taskbar but doesn't delete the old GW 5.5 icon. This has caused a fewminor "..not found" problems, but the end user has been directed to simply delete the old one. GW 5.5 info is still in the registry but has caused no known problems and I've been told by Novell to leave it if it isn't causing any problems. Hopefully in the future they will release a "fix" to remove the old 5.5 info that isn't needed. I prefer a clean registry if possible.
Good luck with your upgrade and remember that if I can do it anybody can!
