From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is almost certainly Ubuntu server

The makefile style concurrency shows that it's probably running sysvinit. The last version of Ubuntu to do that by default was 9.04.

Either it's a very old distro (Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier, Debian 7 or earlier, RHEL/CentOS 5 or earlier) or it's a non systemd distro like slackware.

No way, Debian uses systemd, and systemd uses systemd-journald for logging, and doesn't need cron, because it has timers.

Cron is active on all my Debian 12 boxes

Maybe Devuan or another Debian derivative.

Not Debian, it is how the arch Linux distros boot after the grub menu.

The font is the default Debian font.
