  1. This is what they announced on Twitter today:

    There are, ofcourse, no release dates. Its done when its done. But if you need something to plan against - think 4 to 6 weeks. #centos6

    RHEL 6 was only released today. CentOS is usually 2-3 months behind as they have to strip any licensed material and recompile. Why not try Fedora 14 while you're waiting?

    See the CentOS and Red Hat previous release dates.

  3. It looks like they are posting status updates to this page semi-regularly: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25878&forum=53

    Yesterday (Tuesday February 22, 2011), I received a status update from Karanbir regarding the progress of CentOS 6.0 and he has asked me to post it to this thread.

    Quote:

    6.0: Due to time issues, I'm not updating the Audit Status page [1] at the moment. However there has been movement on the CentOS 6 build-front. I think I'll leave updating that page until 4.9 and 5.6 are out of the door.

    The Audit page they refer to is available here: http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/6/AuditStatus

  4. The QA process is open, but do expect to do some actual work helping to get CentOS 6 ready for GA.
