What command to show Centos version running

I've just yum upgrade my centos 5.2 server, how can I be sure it is now Centos 5.4?

This will not show the CentOS release, so it's not helpful for the OP.

ok, i'm not on fedora now but i remember that it would return something like:

Code:

[schneidz@hyper ~]$ uname -a -m -p
Linux hyper 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 3 04:40:41 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You can also do "lsb_release -a".
