I have seen over the past few months subjects on RHEL 6 and RHEL 5.6
Are these two different builds for Centos to chase or one in the same?

Yes, they are very different. RHEL6 has a lot of new functionality. RHEL 5.6 is the current version of RHEL5.
CentOS5 tracks RHEL5. CentOS6 will track RHEL6.

Which has a little bit of new functionality, notably bind and php stuff.
I need the newer Ruby, so I have to wait for 6.

Oh? Which bind? I want to implement DNSSEC for my domain...

So I figured out the google search that got me to:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/5.6_Releas...
This has BIND 9.7 that I need. From other things in the notes it *looks* like it is based on F14. At least in part.

More like Fedora 12, with some backports. RHEL, and thus the pending CentOS release, is always at least one year behind the leading edge Fedora at release time due to the long and extensive testing and burn-in cycles necessary for a production environment.

F12 had BIND 9.6. I think...
I guess that is one of the backports, if I understand that term right.
5.6 also now officially supports ext4 and adds quota support for ext4.

There are substantial differences.
5.6 is the latest update to the 5-series where 6.0 is a fully updated release with many updated and new applications added. A few small difference;
2.6.18 vs 2.6.32 kernels Cluster 2 vs Cluster 3 etc.
