Jatin,

That depends upon your definition of "soon". After an RHEL major release
it usually takes the CentOS folks about two months (give or take) to
generate their corresponding major release. They have to replace all of
the uniquely Red Hat artwork and any other copyrighted non-free
intellectual property with their own, rebuild all of the affected
packages, test the installation processes for *their* versions, and
create all new distribution media.

If I recall correctly, the release of CentOS 5 was held up while they
worked through some unexpected last minute problems involving the x86_64
build and the sizes of the disc images.

If I had to guess when CentOS 6 might be released, I'd say mid- to
late-January 2011. Watch their web site at http://www.centos.org/.
