This is just a heads up that 3.8 does not look ready to download. There are 3.8 files at the CentOS mirrors, but the files (including the iso images) are constantly changing or disappearing. It looks like the hard-working diligent CentOS workers are making some last minute changes before getting CentOS 3.8 out the door. I presume that there will be a posting made to this list when 3.8 is ready--I hope this doesn't end up like 3.6, when the files are uploaded but not a peep on the mailing list nor webpage that a new 3.x release of CentOS has been made.
I know most people are probably using 4.x, but I prefer 3.x because I know the software on this release is guaranteed to be present in any more modern Linux distro (maybe as an updated version); CentOS 3.x is the oldest codebase being currently maintained for any free Linux distro.
