This is the kernel version.  It's true that "redhat" or "Red Hat"
appears in the above string, but all this really tells you is that the
kernel in question was built on a Red Hat machine with a Red Hat
version of gcc.  It would (conceivably) be possible to run the kernel
in question on some other Linux distribution.
