Linux version?????
 

Need to find version of Linux, there is no cmd where do I start to look?? Not sure where I even need to go to find this information out.

Thanks,
Kat

Try First show you information about kernel and second about distribution.

With red-hat there is also a /etc/redhat-release file you can cat to see your version.

That all sounds doable but where do I do it from there is no command line and I am scared to just open things up and start looking, I know Novell and Windows but no Linux....don't know where to type like there is no command line you know? On my screen I see an icon that says root's home

What do you mean there is no command line? If you are using a GUI like GNOME there will be a 'terminal' application in the applications bar that will launch into your command line.

Is this a netbook?
Does it looks like

Kind regards

You can also try hitting alt+f1 or f2 or f3 and so on. Each function key is associated with a separate terminal on the Linux machine.

Terminal
 

Ok found terminal and got to command line THANKS so much I did the uname -a and it shows Linux (my server name) 2.6.16.60-0.81.2 bigsmp so is all of that the version or just the 2.6.16.60???? I am a REAL Newbie to Linux I'm telling you.

Ok thanks I think that is what I needed.
One more question how do I close this thread??????????
