Here is an easy newbie question. How do i found out the version of my XFree86 and the version of my kernel (i know it says it sometimes during boot-up but i boot up too fast to read). Thanks

Kernel:

cat /proc/version

XFree86:

X -version

You can find out the kernel version with:

Code:

uname -r

Code:

for XFree86

Code:

uname -r

for kernel

Nothing to really add to the previous posts except that the wiki has this info

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Kernel_Commands

and more.
