 Knowing very little about analysing dumps, is it possible to do this? or
 would I have to set up a more comparable environment?

In theory, you could set up a Linux environment
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu.html) with the
binaries from your RedHat system, spawn a Linux shell and go from there
as if you're on Linux, but this will almost certainly be more work than
just finding a RedHat system (or even installing one in qemu).

That is more or less as I thought.It'll probably be easier to stay as I was,
using our ESX servers for this.

Thank you for your reply.
