I'm about to give Drupal a try again, however (At least) one of the mods I need to use, Drupal vB, uses 5.x but I'd like to use Drupal 6.x as it has some features that sound pretty nice. So, will this mod work in 6.x? If not, how hard would it be to make it work? What has changed between the versions that could possibly break the functionality.

Second, I need to customize my login, register, and lost password pages, does this work natively in 6.x? If not, will this method work?.

Thanks

Contributed (contrib) modules are plugins for Drupal that extend, build or enhance Drupal core functionality. Use matching versions (modules released for Drupal 5.x will not work for Drupal 6.x).

Okay... Thanks, I had seen that, but I had a few other questions that went off of that one... Emphasis added:

I'm not a fan of mucking around in other people's code, but seeing as I need the module (And the functionality of the other parts I bolded), I'm willing to do so, but it'd be nice if I had an idea of what has changed... If too much has changed, then I obviously wouldn't bother. However if the differences between the versions is as simple as changing a few variables then that's not a problem. I'd just rather not go looking around through the changelogs, however long they may be, and debugging code I'm completely unfamiliar with - only to find out that it's not possible without a complete rewrite.
Thanks
