Well, Linux as such doesn't have versions in that sense. The kernel has versions, and your kernel version is 2.6.9-55

It looks like you're running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (the EL in 2.6.9-55.ELsmp is the give-away). For the Red Hats, you can type
Code:
cat /etc/redhat-release
into a terminal and it'll tell you what version of Red Hat you're running.

Mmmm ... I think you're probably running RHEL 4 or maybe 5.

Yes it could be Redhat OR a Redhat based distro built from source.
