SME Server Version 8 will be the next major version of SME Server, and will involve upgrading the base to CentOS5 (Scientific Linux 5 at the moment, as CentOS5 is not publicly available). We are just in the very early stages of testing, 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.
