not quite true.

the CentOS-5 distro combines all the various RHEL products into 1 distro, so you 
get Server, Workstation, Client, Virtualisation Cluster, ClusterStorage all 
rolled into 1 distro with options at install time as to what all features you 
would like to install with. And post install the yum package manager to help 
maintain, add, remove and manage packages.
