How to check and confirm the RedHat Linux version
Hi,
I want to confirm the redhat linux version of our server. I have checked the below three options.
1) cat /etc/redhat-release shows the RHEL( Red hat Linux Enterprise Linux) version Ex: RHEL 4(Nahant Update 6), RHEL 3(Taroon Update 6)
2) cat /proc/version shows the 'Red Hat Linux' version. Ex: 3.2.3-53 , 3.3.3-59 , 3.4.6-8 etc.
3) uname -a which provided the Linux kernel version Ex: 2.4.21-37, 2.4.21-57, 2.6.9-67 etc.
Please let me know where to look for Red Hat Linux versions and what is the meaning of all three in details.
Thanks
Gab

Re: How to check and confirm the RedHat Linux version
The Red Hat version is indicated by the /etc/redhat-release file. The other informations indicate the kernel version.
