Code:
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdksecure (flepied@bi.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 14:10:36 EST 2003

This provides kernel info, build dates, and possibly even the distribution and version.

There might also be a /etc/*-release file where the * corresponds to the linux distribution (/etc/SuSE-release, /etc/redhat-release, or /etc/mandrake-release).

Code:
$ cat /etc/mandrake-release
Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586

Well you did ask:

Quote:
how can I check the Linux version?
So that's how you get your version in Linux. However in FreeBSD as your login screen identifies your system that doesn't seem to exist. On my Mac, I can get a version when I type:

Code:
$ uname -a
Darwin Carls-Computer.local 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc

On my OpenBSD system I get:

Code:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD schelin.org 3.8 GENERIC#138 i386

You are using the FreeBSD. also you can check the machine arch through the following command.

$ uname -m

If you want check in your redhat, CentOs, Fedora machine. use the following command.



root@prashant [~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
root@prashant [~]#

If type uname -a, the o/p is:

FreeBSD abcd.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31
:56 GMT 2002 murray@builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i3
86

is there any different with Linux Redhat? or Where can I get more information on this OS?
