I just started using Linux,,again. Finally things seem to be going better this time around.
What I want to know is, How do I check to see which kernel I'm running?
I'm running SUSE 10, now telling me is fine, but I still want to know how to check it myself.

Thanks,

Two ways to check easily.

At a terminal prompt, type in uname -a or uname -r

Second, use the file manager to look at the /boot directory. The vmlinuz file has the kernel version number in the title. If you have multiple running kernels (you updated the kernel), use the first example to see what the currently running kernel is.
