If memory serves me correctly I was told CentOS 4.x was based on Fedora Core 3. So when finding a rpm I always looked for one for Fedora Core 3 and then it seemed to install ok on CentOS 4. Is CentOS 5 the same way and if so what Core is it based on?

No to both. CentOS 4 was RHEL 4; 5 is RHEL 5.

CentOS 5 is based on Fedora Core 6.
That said, be warned that installing FC packages on CentOS is *not* a good idea. While it might work without issues in some cases, such practice is inviting trouble.

A slightly better approach is to grab the src rpm for fedora and 'rpmbuild --rebuild' it to get the binary versions to install. But most things that will work are already built in the epel or rpmforge repositories.
