{{Note box|Version 8.0 of SME Server is based on CentOS 5, Version 9.0 of SME Server is based on CentOS 6 and use the 2.6 series Linux kernel. This combination supports a wide variety of hardware, but it is important that any hardware chosen for the server has been tested for compatibility before deployment. We expect that all hardware which is marked as "Certified" or "Compatible" for RedHat Enterprise Linux Update 5 and RedHat Enterprise Linux Update 6 on the RedHat Hardware Compatibility web site, located at: https://hardware.redhat.com/RHEL5 and https://hardware.redhat.com/RHEL6, will function correctly with SME Server 8.0 and 9.0. We do not recommend the use of server hardware which is not listed as "Certified" or "Compatible".||
