Hi,

I would like to know my RedHat OS version and patch number. I did uname -a and it gave me someting I don't know how to interpret. How do I know which version of the patch release I have?

Thanks,
BMW

Hi BMW,

For example, "uname -a" gives you something like
Linux <hostname> 2.4.7-10 ...
This means you run kernel 2.4.7 patch level 10

Actually, I think the common way of versioning is
[tt]<major version number>.<minor version number>.<patch level>-<build number>[/tt]
