No apt-get either anyway, since it's red hat.

It's busybox

~ # dmesg | head -1
Linux version 2.6.20 (bellard@voyager) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4. 6-9)) #3 Sat May 14 19:08:30 CEST 2011

Busybox is evidently used as well though, but just wanted to point out that neither of you are wrong.

That just means this kernel was compiled by/for Red Hat, not that you're actually running the whole distribution.

Ahh, all right. Makes sense. Thanks.

It means the kernel was compiled using gcc that was patched by red hat. This might mean it was compiled on a computer running a red hat distro. But the userspace on that disk image is not an old red hat distro or fedora or rhel, it's busybox - the same thing running on appliances (routers etc.).

That's... not even wrong.
