As I recall, VA Linux never had their own Linux distribution. The started out selling hardware with Linux pre-installed, grew too quickly into other areas, and then crashed.
Having signed for more than my fair share of VA Linux hardware deliveries, I can confirm that they did, indeeed, have their own distribution (in the loosest sense).
The distro was based off of RedHat, carried the same revision numbers as RedHat, but came on VA-labeled media with VA-specific software for server administration.
