Is there a command that shows my kernel version?

Hi,

uname -v

This has been asked before, please use the search option before posting a question

The kernel version can also be found like this:

Code:

cat /proc/version

Look in /etc/ to discover what 'flavor' of linux you're using. In the old days the filename ended in "_version". Now I see newer versions of redhat/fedora calling it "-release".
Examples:

Code:

/etc/debian_version
/etc/redhat_version
/etc/fedora-release

It is uname -r

Hi,

My answer (uname -v) will probably not give you the answer you (actually?) want, uname -r does. There is a small difference between version and release....

With the answer tonyfreeman gave and mine, you will probably get what you are looking for

Thx. Sorry I forgot about the search function.
