What do you mean by "Linux version"? The kernel version? Your distribution name? (Also, did you notice the duplicate question? Should have been shown to you right after entering your question title…) – slhck Nov 27 '13 at 19:18

I googled, I googled the superuser.com domain, I searched on superuser.com, I asked the question and reviewed the suggested questions. I just tried again and it suggests this question (obviously) but not that one. I tried!! :) – Luke Puplett Nov 27 '13 at 19:24

To get the Red Hat version type: cat /etc/redhat-release To get the SuSE version: cat /etc/SuSE-release To get the Kernel version (and sometimes the distributer) type: cat /proc/version The boot loader sometimes has what you're looking for: cat /etc/grub.conf – pcunite Nov 28 '13 at 14:46
