How do I determine my current kernel?
 

I am sorry for such a stupid question, but how do I determine what kernel I am running in debian? thanks in advance

type in a terminal
. This will give you your kernel version

unam -mrs can be also used.

Also

Hmm all cat /etc/debian_version shows when I enter it in a terminal is testing/unstable.
