Easy way to tell what kernel I've got?


I'm an Ubuntu Linux user so to find out what kernel I've got I have to go into synaptic and find the kernel package. For me this is fine but I'm writing a small guide for new Ubuntu users and I would like to know an easy way to find out what kernel is installed on the machine. Is there some command I can enter in the terminal that will do this? Thanks,
