How To ID An OS?

I found an old server on my LAN that has not been shutdown in like 3 years. How can we tell what version of REDHAT this box is running? I ran the "uname -a" command but that does not tell us what version OS Redhat is on the machine...is there any way to tell?

Code:

[cwilliams@mail cwilliams]$ uname -a
Linux mail.ideorlando.org 2.4.20-43.9.legacysmp #1 SMP S                                                                    at Apr 30 19:07:33 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
