Linux Command Help

[DR1FT3R]

Hi,

Does anyone know a command in Linux that will print out the current kernel version and distribution from where it was installed? I thought the command was "sys", "ver", or "sysinfo", but I was wong.

Thanks for any help in advance.

"ls /usr/src" will most likely have the info you need.

the command i believe is uname .. check the man pages for options

" uname -r " should show the current kernel version

dnetmhz,

uname does the trick. Thanks a bunch.

netfred,

That command gives me the distribution type. Thanks for the help.
