How to I see what version of Kernel I have installed?

 

 

You should be able to see the version as a normal user, so open up a console.

 

Once done type uname -ar

 

you should see something like this:-

 

 

[anyweb@localhost anyweb]$ uname -ar

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29 17:00:00 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

 

That tells me that my kernel version is = 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.

or

 

[tv@62 test]$ rpm -q kernel

kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl

....OR

 

cat /proc/version

 

IRSSI Chat client -

 

/exec -o cat /proc/version

If you want to display just Kernel only. use

 

[venom@odyssey venom]$ uname -r

2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

 

there u go :)
