[Cialug] CentOS 5.6 to 6.0 upgrade?

[Tom Pohl]

Anything in particular?  

For several things that are a bit down-level on CentOS5.6 in the base install have optional installs to get to something more modern.
For example, I know that the latest wordpress requires PHP5.3 which isn't the default, but php53 is available as an option on CentOS 5.6.

Just a thought!
