No, it actually is mostly CentOS.  Same packages.   ClearOS used
CentOS5 too, and only did their own rebuild after getting tired of
waiting for 6.   SME has a somewhat different installer that can
install on a single disk as a 'broken' raid1, letting you add a mirror
later, which is a nice touch, but the kernel and supporting code is
the same once it is running.  They both are managed in  a very
different way (through a web interface) than a stock system, but
that's the point.  If you want to do what they are set up to do, they
make it much easier to get the same reliable code working.  On the
other hand, if you want something different, you end up having to do
even more work to customize them.

I thought when the topic of SIGs for CentOS 7 first came up there was
some input from the SME and ClearOS groups.  Not sure if SME would be
quite the same without their custom installer, but I think ClearOS is
already just extra RPMs on top of a stock system.
