STABLE & CURRENT on same machine?

[stan]

I suddenly find myself with a need to use something thta seems to only be
supported in 5.1 CURRENT. I've never visited 5.x land before, and I'm a bit
warry.

I've got a Compaq N410C that's pretty happy in 4 STABLE land, and has a
Linux partition. I'm considering blowing away the Linux partition, and
replaceing it with 5.1 CURRENT.

Any issues (loader etc all) I should know about here?
