You've got free space immediately have the partition you're try to
resize which is good. It makes things much easier. Still you should
backup before doing anything.
You'll want to make sure you have parted on your system, then boot to
single user (not strictly necessary, you could just go to a vt, login as
root, umount /home and carry on). Use parted to increase the size of
/dev/hda6 as desired, then 'resize2fs /dev/hda6' and you should be done.
Cheers.
