Browse - computer tips - which linux kernel version am i running

Date: 2008jun19
OS: Linux

Q.  How do I find out which version of the Linux kernel I am running?

A.  Do this:

	uname -a

If your system isn't up (you booted from a rescue disk, for example)
you can look at /etc/grub.conf.  Look for default=<number>
and the <number>th entry is the kernel that will boot by default.
What this info useful to you? You can donate to say thanks
