Package install, which Linux OS is XG running on?

Question

Hi, does anyone know which Linux OS XG runs on and how we can install 3rd party software on the device? 
 I'm trying to get an lcm-162 running on a UTM 220 hardware device using XG OS and would like to install the drivers / firmware for the LCD screen. 
 Has anyone had any success trying this? 
 
 Many thanks,

Hey Elliott. 
 Are you talking about Sophos UTM (Sophos XG) or SFOS (Sophos XG)? 
 Sophos UTM does have a package manager (rpm) and it's bases on Suse Linux, but it won't allow you to install any custom packages without voiding warranty and/or risking breaking your system. XG is a whole different beast and IFAIK doesn't even have a package manager. 
 Both of them are meant to not be tampered with. It would be weird to allow a security product to be tampered with, right? 
 Regards, 
 Giovani

Hi, 
 I do not understand what you are going to lockdown on an enterprise firewall that is already hardened?

Hi, 
 depends on what you answered during installation. If you are using more than 4gb of ram then you are using 64bit. 
 If you search the forums you will find an answer as to what version of Linux is being used for the XG.
