Output of /proc/version
Hi,

I am a newbie in Linux.
Appended is the output of cat /proc/version and uname -a.

Code:
# cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686 (mockbuild@x86-03.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.4.3 20100127 (Red Hat 4.4.3-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Apr 30 20:34:53 UTC 2010

# uname -a
Linux Leo 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Fri Apr 30 20:34:53 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Is this a Red Hat system or a Fedora ?I would appreciate if somebody can take the time to split up and explicitly state the meaning of above.

Thanks
HG

It looks like a Fedora installation. Try using the 'lsb_release -a' command. Might give you a better idea.

Oh yeah, I forgot. You might have to install a package for that. I don't remember the name of the package though. Sorry.

It's a Fedora machine. The kernel saves the hostname it was built on: x86-03.phx2.fedoraproject.org.
The lsb_release program is found in the package redhat-lsb
Alternatively, and this should work on all current Linux distributions, run
Code:
cat /etc/*release

for example

Code:
# uname -r
