How to Get Linux Version, Build, and Distribution

May 27th, 2009 No Comments

Getting the Linux Version, build, and Distribution is easy. In the example below, I  ran the command on a Dell Optiplex 755 running CentOS 4.6. Just run the command below in a terminal window and the output will display useful information:

cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)) #1 SMP Thu May 8 10:52:19 EDT 2008
