How do I find the version of linux I am running?
I have Fedora Core 1 installed or so I did I have done all my Red Hat Updates and was wanting to know if it updated me to fedora core 2 or do I have to do that my self?
Is there a command I can type to find the version of linux I am running? in windows I could check by typing winver what is the command in linux? |
uname -a
If you can't make sense of the output, then just do man uname and it will describe what the fields are. |
ls /etc/*release*
ls /etc/*version* This will give you a file that contains the version. cat file_that_ls_found |
uname - a
from the command line returns the kernel version you are using and other useful information about you system. |
You could try
Code:
lsb_release -d |
