Hi all,
I am running 5.4
After running
sudo yum clean all sudo yum update
We got it upgraded to 5.6
cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.6 (Final)
So, how can I get it my CentOS from 5.6 to 6.0?
[vuhung@-08 ~]$ sudo yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.vietoss.com * extras: mirror.vietoss.com * updates: mirror.vietoss.com Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update
TIA,
Vu Hung

You left out the hard part which is ensuring that 'data' does not conflict with any new files from the 6.x install, which anything under /etc or /var most likely will, and then making sure that the parts of 'data' that you need from those conflicting files are added back in a compatible way, which will generally be non-trivial.

Less, are you talking about user data (meant by Brian) or about config data of the system?

The system isn't going to work the way you expect until you do both, so I guess the answer is 'yes'.
You can sort-of generalize about how to handle your config data under /etc and all of the application dot-files in home directories, and your databases and applications with data under /var, but there are a lot of special cases.
