Open a terminal:

Code:

# for OS release information

cat /etc/SuSE-release



# for kernel version

uname -r

Just for completeness, most modern distributions have a file /etc/os-release which contains version information and other useful things.
For example, on Slackware 14 it looks like this:

Code:

NAME=Slackware

VERSION="14.0"

ID=slackware

VERSION_ID=14.0

PRETTY_NAME="Slackware 14.0"

ANSI_COLOR="0;34"

CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:slackware:slackware_linux:14.0"

HOME_URL="http://slackware.com/"

SUPPORT_URL="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/"

BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/"
