Your answer is right there - Red Hat Linux 7.2.

Red Hat Linux 7.2 originally shipped with kernel 2.4.7-10.
ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

Updates for the kernel for 7.2 ended at 2.4.20-28
ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

The last update for 7.2 was Dec, 2003.  The release is ancient.  7.3
also shipped with gcc 2.96.  Red Hat Linux 8 and 9 both shipped with
3.2.  Fedora Core 1 finally shipped with gcc 3.3.2 on a 2.4.22 kernel.

By browsing archive.download.redhat.com and download.fedora.redhat.com,
you can determine all of the release information yourself for both the
original shipping versions and all of the updates.

I don't know anything about SuSe.
