hi
major differnce is in V5.0, Base and ND have seperate installations. Also to create another stand alone node we used %was_home%binwsinstance and created anoher instance.
in V6.0, Base (AppServer), ND and another Stand Alone or Federated Nodes are considered as PROFILES. After u install Base (Appserver), to install ND u dont need another CD or installation files. U can create ND and more nodes in %was_home%binProfileCreator and using either pctwindows.exe or pct.jar u can install more nodes or ND.
this is fast, takes less space on ur hard drive and u can create more nodes easliy and faster.
Keep an eye on the default port numbers, they r different. Other than that in resources you also have WEB SERVER.
Hope this helps.

When you install, update, or delete an application, the updates are automatically
distributed to all members in the cluster. In WebSphere Application Server V5, if
you updated an application on a cluster, you had to stop the application on every
server in the cluster, install the update, and then restart the server. With
WebSphere Application Server V6, the Rollout Update option allows you to
update and restart the application servers on each node, one node at a time.
This provides continuous availability of the application.

If we want to deploy an application in 5.X we need to stop all the cluster members .In 6.X we have a concept called ROLLOUT UPDATE which will make the update on each cluster member separately where we were not needed to stop all the cluster members .

In WAS 6.1 we have 4 different types of profiles available. They are
Deployment Manager Profile(DMGR):
The deployment manager profile defines a deployment manager in a distributed server environment
Application Server Profile:
It is a single stand alone application server. This profile gives you an application server that can run stand alone or un-managed.
Custom Profile
A Custom profile is an empty Node intended for federation to a deployment manager.
Cell Profile
Websphere 7.0 Cell(DeploymentManager and managed node),Management,Application Server,Custom profile,Secure Proxy.
Note:Under Management there are three types of profiles available :Administrative agent
