I would recommend you download and install 5.1 if you can.  The upgrade from 
4.x to 5.x is nearly impossible and you're better off doing a fresh install.  
I've been using 5.x for quite a while now, even on a production web server 
with little problems.  There's also better hardware support.  Expect to see a 
few bugs, but they're getting taken care of pretty quickly.
