RHCE certifications are considered current for 2 releases of RHEL. I have not heard anything about a timeline for RHEL 6 either, but imagine that 2010 is very likely. I am waiting for RHEL 6 as well to take the RHCE exam, as my RHEL 4 RHCE will no longer be current at that time. I do not see any advantage (for me at least) to take the RHCE under RHEL 5 when RHEL 6 is relatively close, my RHCE is still current, and taking the RHCE under RHEL 5 would just mean that I will need to retake the RHCE under RHEL 7, and not be able to wait until RHEL 8 to stay current. I followed the same strategy when my RHCE from RHL 7.1 became no longer current. In the mean time, there is no harm in stuyding the RHCE exam prep guide <http://www.redhat.com/certification/rhce/prep_guide/>

Hope this helps.

I believe that RHCE certifications are good for the version you test for and 
the next, so if you get it for 5, then it will be good for 5 and 6. Either way, 
5 is going to be out in the wild for a long time, so you aren't really going to 
be out anything getting it now.

I wonder if there is any indication of when rhel6 might come out?  I was 
planning of getting RHCE and thought I should wait until it comes out first.

thanks,
