How to check kernel version of your linux server Print

  • 0

Type command below to check the version of your kernel :

 

uname -r

 

The system will return a numeric code, for example:

3.10.0-957.21.2.

 

The uname command includes additional options that you can use to get more information about your kernel. Simply add an option after the command:

  • -a – Display all information
  • -o – Display the operating system (usually GNU/Linux)
  • -r – Display kernel release
  • -v – Display kernel version (usually includes the base OS and time the kernel was compiled)
