How to tell what version of Red Hat you have installed
One way to find your version of Red Hat is to type the following:
cat /etc/redhat-release
Example output could show which product, release, and update you have:
# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 1) |
Another way which will give you more information about your kernel version is to use the uname command with the -a option.
uname -a
Example output will show the hostname, kernel version, and other system information:
# uname -a Linux server1.example.com 2.4.21-9.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Apr 20 19:49:13 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
