How do I determine the version and type of linux?
-
It is not always easy trying to find the type of linux you are running, for instance if you do a "uname -a", it does not say it is Redhat or SuSE.
A combination of commands can provide this information:
This tells you that you are running SuSE Linux
# cd /proc # more version Linux version 2.6.5-7.244-smp (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005
This tells you the version plus other information.
# uname -a Linux Unixbod 2.6.5-7.244-smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
