Any idea what the new version is based on? Is it still a 2.4 kernel (and based on RHEL 3)?
Don't think they admit to any relationship to Linux. uname just says VMkernel 5.0.0 #1 with a build number. Most of the user level programs are implemented with busybox. It has ssh/scp, but no rsync.
Note the "i" in ESXi; this is an "embedded linux" variant. ESX is still RedHat based, to the best of my knowledge.
