Determining the Version of Your Linux Kernel

To determine the version of your Linux Kernel, you should login and type the following in a terminal window (use xterm or similar if you use X-Windows)

% uname -r
2.2.17-4

The first two digits of the output indicate the major and minor Kernel version numbers (in this case 2 and 2).
