What version of RedHat am I using?
Author: Deron Eriksson
Description: This tutorial demonstrates how to determine which version of RedHat Linux you are using.
Tutorial created using:
CentOS release 4.6
Depending on the particular distribution of Linux, version information may be present in the /etc directory. For RedHat versions, you can find the version information in /etc/redhat_release. Other distributions may use a different file in /etc. Executing the following command reveals that I am using a system running CentOS release 4.6. cat /etc/redhat_release 
System information can also be obtained via the "uname" command. I'll display all uname information via the -a switch: uname -a
