Question
How can I determine which version of Linux I am running?
Answer
You can easily identify the version of Linux installed on your system by running the command as shown in the following example:
[nz@AMP50-1 ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-141.el5 (mockbuild@ls20-bc1-14.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)) #1 SMP Fri Apr 24 17:46:35 EDT 2009
You could also run the following command on Red Hat systems to get the version of Red Hat:
[nz@AMP50-1 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
