Curious as to why redhat-release says "CentOS Linux release" in C6, but on C5 it merely says 'CentOS release". This causes programs that try to parse the file (eg Xen Tools) to fail 'cos it can't parse properly.
Yeah, it can be worked around, but it seems an unnecessary change :-(

This caught me out as well ...
Maybe CentOS are planning a release of something that isn't based on Linux :-)
