How to find out kernel version?
Hello,
I just installed Red Hat 9. How can I find out the version of the kernel? And where can I find good instructions (for a newbie) how to update the kernel? And how can I find out the version of xFree86? Thanks guys :newbie: |
open a console window and type
uname -r output root@darkstar:~# uname -r 2.4.22newone My output is likem this because I recompiled my kernel but you'll see something like this |
To find out the version of XFree86 type --->
$ XFree86 -version :cool: Example: mingdao@paul:~$ XFree86 -version This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way. Bugs may be reported to XFree86@XFree86.Org and patches submitted to fixes@XFree86.Org.
