Good Afternoon,
There's "Dia": http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ if you're gnome
Also, there's "DiaCanvas" which I guess is similar (never used it): http://sourceforge.net/projects/diacanvas/
And of course kivio: http://www.koffice.org/kivio/ if you're a kde fan....

Anyone know of an Open Source software comparable to Microsoft Visio?

I've not checked for the others, but dia is available form the repos normally associated with CentOS (or referenced ones like rpmforge, ...). Of course, they are not as new as the ones on the sites you mention and therefore probably have the unfortunate side-effect of increasing stability for enterprise-oriented distributions.
Sometimes I think folks don't spend as much time selecting the "Right Tool for the Job" (TM) as they do pounding square pegs into round holes.

For folks looking for packages, consider
yum --noplugins --enablerepo=* list >/var/YumAll.lst
and interesting packages might be queried with
yum info <package glob> # might need two flags used above
I can't speak for others, but the less I see available tools being used, the less inclined I am to waste my time responding.
Let's encourage newer users by mentioning these tools over and over and ...
