This is a very strange machine. It doesn't have a "locate" command anywhere, and even more strange, it doesn't have a "csh"

As they suggested on the other forum that you posted on, it is either;
 
CentOS 4.8 or
 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4.8)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4.8)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4.8)
