Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

What do you mean by complete details? Look at the output of the command:

cat /etc/issue

version information can be found using the command

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

a list of all installed packages is available by command

Code:

Kernel and platform details

RedHat kernelversion (uname -a) does not really provide any information about what patches are installed to kernel source. Redhat backports many newer functions to their kernel to prevent from changing interfaces and libraries and provide long term support for one version to their customers.
