CentOS - Jan 2011 - Is there a difference between RHEL 6 and 5.6?

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.

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.
