How to learn your linux release

May 18, 2009 in Linux | 3 comments

To learn your linux and kernel version ( release ) you can use /proc/version

Type it in console:

cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5
(brewbuilder@ls20-bc2-13.build.redhat.com)
(gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-41))
#1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008

In this output, you get to see the following information:

  1. Exact version of the Linux kernel used in your OS: Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5
  2. Name of the user who compiled your kernel, and also a host name where it happened: brewbuilder@ls20-bc2-13.build.redhat.com
  3. Version of the GCC compiler used for building the kernel: gcc version 4.1.2 20071124
  4. Type of the kernel – SMP here means Symmetric MultiProcessing kernel, the one that supports systems with multiple CPUs or multiple cpu cores
  5. Date and time when the kernel was built: Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008
