RHEL 5 is slated for a December release, depending on feature 
completeness and quality.

I don't know about CentOS's release cycle.  IMHO, even though they are 
technically true to the letter of the GPL, I think that they do
is a blatant ripoff of all the hard work that Red Hat does in creating 
FC and then RHEL.  If you want RHEL, spend the bucks and get it.  It is 
not expensive, WS is only $179 and it contains everything you will need 
for a workstation.  If you want a true server build, ES is $349 and that 
is still cheap.

See https://www.redhat.com/apps/commerce/ for pricing and details, and 
see http://www.redhat.com/rhel/ for links to comparisons of features and 
functions.
