It's a kernel specific to VMWare. I'm not really sure what kind of mods they make, but since they are distributing it, they have to make any kernel mods publicly available. From what I've seen, it is highly tuned for its job as basically a supervising process.

Zeg,
ESX is not, linux! I know the install uses anaconda and looks remarkably like the RHEL setup but other than a Linux Console which is itself a virtual process the kernel is not related to Linux...
