-v #Kernel release version

Also you can find out the details by,

PHP Code:
cat /proc/version 
OUTPUT:
HTML Code:
Linux version 2.4.21-15.EL (bhcompile@bugs.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-34)) #1 Thu Apr 22 00:27:41 EDT 2004

dmesg grep "Linux version" 
OUTPUT:
HTML Code:
Linux version 2.4.21-15.EL (bhcompile@bugs.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-34)) #1 Thu Apr 22 00:27:41 EDT 2004
