I am excited about CentOS 6.x though. Aren't there supposed to be some neat new features etc for virtualization and cloud computing?
this could be the start of a dangerously long thread nonrelated to OP. Why not start a new thread with 'CentOS-6 interesting upcoming features' :)
Ok, here's one: I'm having a problem with syslogd - due to the upper heirarchy, we've started logging our (*yuck*) Windows servers to our centralized logging server, and so far, the other admin hasn't managed to make WinBlows less than maximum verbosity. I know I can do filtering with syslog-ng and rsyslog, but 5.5 has syslogd. Now, I *thought* I heard one or the other of those other two was coming in, but thought it would be in CentOS 5.x; can anyone tell me a) if the change is coming, b) which of the two it'll be, and c) will it be in 5.6 or 6?

Only rsyslog is in RHEL 6, and neither syslog nor syslog-ng are in EPEL. rpm.pbone.net is not caught up to publishing RHEL/CentOS 6 yet, unfortunately, so I don't have a trivial way to tell you who's published syslog-ng ports that will work well for CentOS 6. It looks like karan.org published syslog-ng for RHEL/CentOS 5, though.
The switchover is not too painful, configuration files between syslog and rsyslog are pretty close.
