SME Server Version 8 will be the next major version of SME Server, and will involve upgrading the base to CentOS5. We are just in the very early stages of development, but so far things look very good - not nearly as many changes as were required from going from a base of RedHat 7.3 in SME Server 6.x to a base of CentOS4 in SME Server 7.x.
