[Cialug] CentOS 5.6 to 6.0 upgrade?

[dchamp1337 at gmail.com]

The end user needs the newer versions of a couple of packages that are in  
6.0. SVN and a few others.

I'm thinking that a clean install may be the way to go.

We had done an upgrade from RHEL 4 to CentOS 5 on some servers, that  
actually went pretty well.
