The official Sun web site seems to agree with you, as well...

"Sun Linux 5.0" was the Sun-branded release of Red Hat Linux 7.2
(see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/misc/Linux_Differences.pdf)
that served as the default LX50 operating system, besides Solaris.
It came with some neat server (?) stuff like GNOME, KDE and Mozilla...
(as well as Chili!ASP 3.6.2 and Sun Streaming Server 2.0, but anyway)
It has now been deprecated, in favor of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
