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)
