Installed version of Linux

[csross]

I have a number of linux boxes but can't tell which version is installed. I do a uname -a but it doesn't say? Any ideas how to tell the difference?

Thanks

You might try examining /proc/version.

I looked and it says

Linux 2.4.20-6 (compiled ...) (gcc version ....) (Red Hat Linux 3.2.25)

Is that Red Hat 8 or 9?

Thanks

Sorry.

Yeah, /proc/version is telling you about the kernel version.

If the systems are all RedHat, there's /etc/redhat-release.

There's also /etc/issue, which is displayed at the login prompt.

Thanks. /etc/redhat-release has it.
