Good day from Singapore,

I have just discovered that the latest Sophos Firewall SFOS version 20.0.0 GA-Build222 is running on Linux kernel 4.14.302.

# uname -a
Linux localhost 4.14.302 #2 SMP Wed Nov 1 07:16:58 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

However, I do not know which Linux distro Sophos Firewall is based on. When I run the Linux command "cat /etc/lsb-release", the output is
DISTRIB_ID=Sophos Firewall

Hence I do not know which Linux distro the Sophos Firewall is based on.

Additionally, Sophos Firewall is also using the open source Snort Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) by Cisco. I saw the directory snort inside /etc/ when I am inside the terminal.

I simply love Linux and open source! Billions of network security appliances and networking devices are based on Linux.

Most likely your vendor build their own custom distro (maybe Yocto
Project-based or anything between). Hence, if you have any problems with
it, please contact the support channel provided by your vendor (in your
case, [1]).

Bye!
