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

Code:
sh-2.05b$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 4)

Also
Code:
uname -r

gives you the kernel release.

Run the script posted in this post .

Gives you a better result.
