Which Linux Version / Build / Distribution am I running?

by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator


To determine which Linux version / build / release / distribution you are running, look in the /proc/version entry as follows: 

  # cat /proc/version
  Linux version 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL (centos@centos-build) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42)) #1 Fri Dec 24 02:04:03 GMT 2004
