</div>CentOS "point releases" track the upstream "Update x" releases. So<br>
CentOS 5.6 is upstream version 5 update 6. The point releases are not<br>
a separate product, just a batch of updates to the base product. As<br>
soon as you do a "yum update" to get all the new updates you will have<br>
a 5.6 install.<br>
