Hi all,

anyone know what should be the kernel version for red hat linux enterprise 3 update 3 .


I have installed kernel version is 2.4.21-4 and some says that it may not be the red hat linux enterprise 3 update 3 .

thanks
Bert

Your linux distro holds a file containing the information about the linux version you have installed.

For RH linux, it will be /etc/redhat-release

For me, it says

Also gives you the kernel release.

Run the script posted in this post .

Gives you a better result.

vino

Thanks Vino for your quick reply.

uname -r gives

2.4.21-4.ELsmp

cat /etc/redhat-release gives

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)




regards

Hi again,

So to find the version my pc is using i type a command such as uname -r
Is this correct? Also, when i switch on the [c and log on, shouldnt there be any default wordings that show the Unix OS version?'
Thanks

Read the man page for uname.

It says

When you log on, you can make your machine show the OS version it is using. I think you need to put it in .bash_profile.

By default it will not show.

But telnet'ing into that machine will show the information.
