Kernal being used in Red Hat Version 5.0

lgrobbins · 01-23-2008, 09:16 AM

I am trying to find out what Kernal is used in Red Hat version 5.0. Can anyone help me with that info? I am a new user (a student actually) and I was asked to see if I could find out the answer to this question.
Thanks

...if you know what you are looking for...

And, more to the point, I bet he is not looking for Red Hat 5, which must be from late 90s / early 2000s (hey, this century! cool!) but probably RHEL 5 or maybe Fedora Core 5. Oh, and its a kernel, not that this info helps at distrowatch.

i bet he's looking for rhel too... i think everyone's agreed that it's totally fair game to call rhel 5.0 redhat 5.0 by everyone, newbies and professionals alike...

Redhat 5, those were the days.

The answer to this unfortunate question is:

RedHat 5.0 was shipped (in 1998) with a 2.0.30 kernel, upgraded to 2.0.32 because of the "Teardrop attack". Who can tell me what that was?
